3 Stars: Parsons, Kearse led inspired Cowboys defensive effort

The Cowboys had a bad effort as a club, but there were still a handful of standouts in the contest. | From @StarConscience

Week 11 did not go as planned for the Dallas Cowboys. Their matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs was seen as a litmus test of their season so far, and they failed. Offensively the Cowboys were awful, only producing nine points. 276 total yards were a season-low and the Cowboys were only five out of 15 on third down. Sprinkle in Dak Prescott’s inaccuracy, wide receivers dropping passes, the offensive line getting dominated, and three turnovers, it was a miracle they only lost 19-9.

The reason for that was because of the Cowboys’ defense. The 19 points the Chiefs scored were the fourth-lowest the Cowboys’ defense has allowed all season. Also, they forced two turnovers and logged three sacks.

It’s hard to find a lot of positives in a loss like this one, but these are three players that stood out for the Cowboys.
