With the New York Giants’ most recent win against the Washington Commanders, the Dallas Cowboys have clinched a spot in the 2022 playoffs.
Despite this, we must address the lack of consistency from Dallas offense. Over the last few weeks, the Cowboys haven’t been playing good football. They barely pulled out a win against a one-win Houston Texans team in Week 14, and then they took an overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Since the week 9 bye, the Cowboys have won four of their last six games, but Dak Prescott has thrown 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions. If your quarterback is throwing an interception for every two touchdowns, that’s a problem!
The Cowboys haven’t been able to shut teams out when they are up. Against the Green Bay Packers, entering the fourth quarter, they were up 28-14. Against the Jaguars, they were up 27-10 in the third quarter, yet they couldn’t maintain the lead. The third and fourth quarters have been a problem that cannot be ignored.
There is certainly enough blame to go around, but with the decision-making in critical moments by Prescott, inconsistent passing, and more importantly, the play-calling; it’s time to dive into the film and find out what’s wrong with Prescott and Dallas’ offense overall.
