Good, Bad, Ugly: Cowboys’ fast start, timely takeaways sullied by drops, gaffes

From @ToddBrock24f7: Even in a 20-point win over the East leader, there’s room to improve. We look at a dropped TD, a costly fumble, and a special-teams snafu.

It’s hard to find too much to complain about in a 20-point smackdown over your most hated rival on primetime TV to move into a first-place tie atop the division standings. Week 14’s 33-13 win over Philadelphia was perhaps the best and most complete game against a top-tier opponent the Cowboys have played in several seasons.

But as with any performance in the NFL, there are things that can be improved upon as the Cowboys continue their churn into toughest part of their regular-season schedule. While Dak Prescott played another good game that likely keeps him in the MVP conversation and the defense kept the star-studded Eagles offense out of the end zone entirely, Dallas coaches will still have plenty of learning opportunities for the Cowboys players in this week’s film study.

From the moments where focus was lost to the ever-present specter of injury, and then- of course- just a few of the things that went exceptionally well, here’s our weekly look at the good, the bad, and the ugly from this weekend’s game.
