Did the Cardinals’ defense really cause trouble for the Cowboys in week 3?

In the third week of the NFL season, the Cowboys had the ball, and they moved it 75 yards in 13 plays. They scored a touchdown when Rico Dowdle ran 15 yards into the end zone. This happened with a little more than five minutes left in the second quarter, hence staging an important moment in the game.

The Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott was just not given the right support. While he threw the ball 40 times, his team only caught it 25 times. He threw the ball 249 yards and only one time his teammate caught it in the end zone. Prescott even himself had a bad day, not being on his best performance.
