With their jobs possibly on the line, the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff performed well on Sunday night. And I never thought I’d be writing those words about a Cowboys’ team led by head coach Jason Garrett again. Yet, Sunday night’s 20-13 victory over the New York Giants was the first time I can remember this coaching staff stepping up like their job depended on it.
By using the gadget players, diversifying the play-calling, and even adding complexity to the defense, this team’s coaching staff really stepped up to the plate.
Right off the bat, we saw offensive coordinator Scott Linehan break his conservative habits and loosen the reins on quarterback Dak Prescott and the offense.
