The Dallas Cowboys opened up their Week 14 game playing defense, their achilles heel on the 2020 season. Not opening up, mind you, just playing defense in general. They bucked the trend early though, as star defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence stripped Gio Bernard on the second play of the game.

Cornerback Jourdan Lewis, named a captain for the game, recovered the ball to give Dallas great field position.

After converting an early third down to Michael Gallup though, quarterback Andy Dalton was sacked on third down and the club wasn’t able to score a touchdown despite reaching the end zone. The Cowboys settled for a Greg Zuerlein field goal and an early 3-0 lead.

The fumble was Bernard’s first in over 800 carries and the recovery was Lewis’ fourth of his career. Lawrence now has three forced fumbles in 2020.

Week 14 Staff Picks: Cowboys will topple the juggernauts of the jungle

Will the Cowboys make it to four victories on the season. There’s a chance!

The Cowboys Wire staff didn’t hesitate to lock up their Ravens pick in Week 13. Unless your name is KD or Dave, the staff was in lockstep in thinking the Cowboys could not get it done in Baltimore.

Where does this leave the Cowboys now for the remainder of the season? Are they mathematically eliminated? No. Not yet. The Cowboys now travel to a place where their starting quarterback Andy Dalton is all too familiar with. The team will travel to Cincinnati to battle the Bengals.

Some would say the Bengals have packed it in as well after the loss of their starting rookie quarterback Joe Burrow. Cincy will be looking to add some beef to their offensive line in the off-season and one way to do that is to lose the remainder of their games for a higher draft pick. With four games remaining the Cowboys are technically still in the race for the NFC East. Somehow. Will the Cowboys Wire staff go with what they want to happen, or what will happen.
