The Dallas Cowboys are sitting at 2-1 three weeks into the schedule and the overreactions have hit both sides of the spectrum. First they were a team ranked among the best in the league, but after a rough loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3, many claim the Cowboys appear to be on the brink of collapse and ruin.
That’s life in the NFL, and the commentary will get even more interesting with the New England Patriots coming to town with former running back Ezekiel Elliott. The offense’s failure to convert in the red zone against the Cardinals, a place where Elliott has been one of the best goal line backs in the league since entering in 2016, makes the perfect conversation piece.
It led to the inevitable question. Would the Cowboys be more efficient in the red zone if Elliott were still in Dallas?
