Well that was rough. This was always a game that was teetering between a competitive contest for the Cowboys and a total blowout in the first game without Dak Prescott. It ended up being the worst case scenario, as Zack Martin’s injury made an already-injury-plagued offensive line even worse.
As if playing behind four backup linemen wasn’t enough for Dalton’s first start in Dallas, Ezekiel Elliott made sure to put the nail in the coffin with two early fumbles, which forced Dalton to push things and take risks he otherwise wouldn’t take.
