The Cowboys’ 20-17 win over the Chargers on Monday Night Football was undoubtedly good. It washed out the nasty taste left behind by last week’s West Coast visit, it sent Dallas into their bye week with positive momentum, and it helped the club gain some ground on both the Eagles and the 49ers within the NFC after both those squads lost on Sunday.
But the squeaker at SoFi featured plenty of both bad and ugly, too. Mike McCarthy’s offense is still bewildering to watch, with a preponderance of running plays that sent Tony Pollard charging hopelessly right up Tyler Biadasz’s backside on early downs and forcing Dak Prescott into way too many third-and-long situations. And both the defense and special teams managed to shoot themselves in the foot as well, leaving plenty to clean up in all three phases over the team’s week off.
Here’s a recap of what went well, what went poorly, and what made fans go huh? in Week 6.
