The Cowboys are hoping to use the bad taste in their mouths as fuel for the home stretch of the season. Sunday’s loss at Lambeau exposed several things that need fixing fast: an ongoing penalty problem (and the apparently irresistible urge to blame officials), Dak’s communication with his pass-catchers, a massive vulnerability at run defense, and the need to keep the secondary healthy. To that last point, Mike McCarthy gives an encouraging update on Anthony Brown, and Stephen Jones reassures that Ezekiel Elliott will be back in Week 11.
Meanwhile, a few tidbits from the Packers loss, including Dak Prescott’s major milestone, what’s happening with Jason Peters, and what the loss did to the Cowboys’ playoff chances. Fourth-quarter comebacks were contagious on Sunday, a mock draft has Dallas revamping their backfield, and Troy Aikman makes a return to the MNF booth after a family tragedy. That’s all up in News and Notes.
