Dallas’ biggest problems against Buffalo were stopping the run and QB Dak Prescott’s turnovers resurfacing, but can they overcome these issues?
After five consecutive victories, the Dallas Cowboys were blown out by the Buffalo Bills in Week 15 by a score of 31-10. The loss was notable for many reasons, including a lack of production from Dak Prescott, continued subpar play on the road, and a ghastly performance by the Cowboys’ run defense.
All is not lost for the Cowboys, however. The team is having a strong year and was coming off of an impressive win against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. There are three major issues that surfaced for the Cowboys against the Bills, and Dallas will need to find solutions to all of them if they expect to make a deep playoff run this year.
There have been plenty of times this season when the Dallas Cowboys looked like one of the best teams in the league. Then there are times like the Week 3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the embarrassment they suffered at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5, and their shocking result in Week 15.
Still, the Cowboys went into this Sunday’s game having won seven out of their last eight. But Dallas didn’t resemble that team at all against the Bills. Perhaps it was because they were forced to play in Buffalo rather than the cozy confines of Jerry’s World, where they have looked unbeatable all year.
