Cowboys defense giving up points, offense giving up the ball
ARLINGTON, Texas – The Dallas Cowboys defense is giving up points at a rate unseen since the franchise’s winless inaugural season six decades ago, and their offense keeps giving up the ball even while scoring in bunches. “What I don’t like, is I don’t like the pattern of the four games that we’ve played. The points are outrageous, the time of possession is totally lopsided, and we’re minus-7 in the turnover ratio. The only time the Cowboys had ever done that was during their 0-11-1 debut in 1960. And not starting fast enough, that’s what’s been killing us over the past few games,” Prescott said.
