The Dallas Cowboys are 1-2 following a loss to the Baltimore Ravens on the final play of an international game in Brazil. The result has brought renewed attention to the coaching staff, which has been questioned over decisions in both of Dallas’ losses this season.
Dallas plans to seek ways to cover the safety position during the rehabilitation of Jalen Thompson and P.J. Locke, who are expected to be unavailable for at least four weeks. Malik Hooker may be able to return this week. Injuries have also affected the Cowboys’ cornerbacks.
The late offensive series ended with two incomplete passes, a Dak Prescott scramble and a false-start penalty against Terence Steele. Running back Williams did not receive a rushing attempt, even though Dallas still had a timeout, according to analysis cited by Blogging The Boys.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has drawn scrutiny for calling the offense, while commentary questioned his hiring and whether the roster was put at a disadvantage. Prescott has not defeated a non-division opponent since last Thanksgiving.
Rookie linebacker Jaishawn Barham provided a positive moment with two significant stops against the run in the fourth quarter. On fourth down near the goal line, he stopped Derrick Henry and helped Dallas take possession while trailing by three points.
