Good, Bad, Ugly: Deep-ball patience pays off, lack of LB depth concerning in Thanksgiving win

From @ToddBrock24f7: The 45-10 final only looked like a romp. While plenty went right for Dallas, there is much to address before the hardest stretch of games.

A win over Washington was just the satisfying ending that Cowboys fans were hoping to end their holiday with. But despite the 45-10 final that looks great on paper, anyone who watched the game knows it was actually very close for most of the afternoon.

Dallas overcame a shaky start- perhaps due to the short week of prep- and finally got their offense on track, thanks to a patient approach to one particular aspect of the play sheet. The defense, however, gave up uncharacteristic numbers that may cause concern with a slate of tough opponents coming up. And penalties and a missed kick are among the other items worth noting as the all-important third “trimester” of the regular season is about to begin.

You know about the turkey-leg touchdown celly and DaRon Bland’s record-breaking moment, but here’s a deeper look at what really made up the good, the bad, and the ugly after the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day victory.
