Cowboys were brought to 4th down twice and converted it for a touchdown both times. In the first half, the Falcons were brought to 4th down three times and they went for it once with no luck. Remember when Jason Garrett would almost never go for it on 4th down? I am loving this new boldness the Cowboys team are showing. Not much happened after that as time ran out and the Cowboys won it by 40 points, 43-3 over the Falcons.įourth downs are the story of the first half for the Cowboys and Falcons. At this point, QB Cooper Rush comes in to play in place of Dak Prescott. Ryan threw another interception, this time caught by Lewis, the third Cowboys cornerback to catch an interception of the day. After a slight struggle, Prescott ends up running the ball into the end zone for yet another touchdown, putting the Boys up 43-3. He intercepts it and it's the Cowboys' game again. It looks like the Falcons are going to catch a break here when Zaccheaus gets a huge catch and first down, but then Trevon Diggs does what Trevon Diggs does when the ball comes near him. The Cowboys make their first big mistake of the game here when Elliott fumbles the ball on a peanut punch and it's recovered by Atlanta. The Falcons don't make much headway before finally throwing an interception, caught by Brown. They go for two and it's successful, putting them up even further just before halftime, leading the Falcons 36-3. Atlanta can't get anywhere so they punt it with 44 seconds left in the half, but it is blocked and Dallas recovers it inside the end zone to give them another 6 points, putting them up 34-3. Just after the punt return, the Cowboys quickly make it down the field and Prescott throws a huge pass right into the end zone that's caught by Lamb for HIS second TD of the game. They go three and out again with an Armstrong sack on Ryan. The Cowboys defense showed no mercy to the Falcons. Prescott brings the Cowboys down the field and it's Elliott again who gets the Cowboys' third TD of the day, putting them up 21-3. The Falcons go three and out and don't attempt to go for it this time. The Cowboys are in good field position at the start of the second quarter and Elliott brings the ball up the field and into the end zone for another touchdown, putting the Cowboys up 14-3. They too decide to go for it, but unlike last week, they convert with a Prescott pass to Lamb who picks up 21 yards before the end of the first quarter. Cowboys get the ball back and are also taken to 4th down and 5. They wouldn't score again for the rest of the game. They were within field goal range but decide to go for it, but Matt Ryan has no one to throw to, and Lewis stops Gage from getting the pass. When the Falcons get the ball back again, they are brought to 4th and 7, and this is where the tone shifts for the rest of the game. The Falcons respond with a field goal, putting the score at 7-3 early on. Zuerlein is out with Covid and Hajrullahu was in and he came through on every single PAT and field goal. On their first drive, the Cowboys took it down the field fast and Prescott threw a touchdown pass to Ceedee Lamb to put the Cowboys up 7-0 early in the first quarter. Dan Quinn, current Cowboys defensive coordinator and former Falcons head coach really stuck it to his old team, even if he said it wasn't about beating them specifically after they fired him. The Dallas Cowboys came back after an embarrassing home loss to do to the Falcons basically the same thing the Broncos did to them, but worse.
