And when the Commanders decided to go for it on fourth down, Trevon Diggs got a finger tip on a ball intended to Terry McLaurin in the end zone, and the Commanders turned the ball over on downs. Dante Fowler sacked Carson Wentz on a third down play.

The 'Boys will be looking to do something they've never. There was no pushing a panic button, it was more a sense of, “Okay, who is going to make the play this time?” The Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will kickoff Monday night from Raymond James Stadium in NFC Wild Card Round. They also played together in college at Notre Dame.Ĭowboys’ confidence on defense: Even when the Commanders took possession at the Cowboys’ 30-yard line in the fourth quarter following a shanked punt by Bryan Anger, you could just feel the confidence on the sideline. Zack and Nick are from Indianapolis where they played high school football together. So the weekend served as a mini-reunion for the Martin family. But Nick’s wife was able to make the trip at the last moment. Zack and Nick’s parents had already been planning to come to town for the game, even before Nick signed with Washington. His younger brother, Nick, had just played the entire game at center for the visiting team after joining the Commanders less than two weeks ago. In his Cowboys debut at the Giants last Monday night, Peters played two series, both in the first half, and totaled 14 snaps.įamily meeting at midfield: Zack Martin doesn’t normally hang out at midfield following postgame handshakes, but Sunday was an exception. Peters played two offensive series in the first half and three series in the second half, finishing with 21 snaps (of 61 snaps, 34%). More reps for Jason Peters: Connor McGovern returned to the starting lineup at left guard after missing the past two games with an ankle injury, but 40-year-old Jason Peters shared playing time with McGovern. So, it may not be sexy and fans may get frustrated when they don’t see the run plays pop for big yardage, but Zeke-for-two-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust is the dirty work making the entire offense go. Everything is based off the run game, and we’ve got to keep running.” We knew it was going to be a tough challenge running, but we stuck with it and it opened up some of the deeper shot plays, like Noah (Brown) down the middle. Not sexy, but effective: What’s the old saying about beating your head against the wall? Against two of the best interior linemen in the NFL, the Commanders’ Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne, the Cowboys’ rushing attack was running straight into a meat grinder for a good portion of the game. “He went for 9 receptions and like 130 (receiving yards), he did good,” admitted Gallup. “I actually owe CeeDee some money because he got more YAC (yards after catch) than I did, but we won’t talk about that.”Ĭoolest moment on the sideline: When Gallup returned to the Cowboys’ bench after his 9-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, he obviously was greeted with high fives, pats on the back, and hugs from teammates, coaches and staff. But the best exchange (i.e., longest hug) was reserved for Britt Brown, the Cowboys’ Director of Rehabilitation. Brown is the member of the athletic training staff that works most closely with players who are rehabbing longer-term injuries. So many Cowboys through the years have credited Brown for helping them get through career-threatening injures he’s such an important member of the team. That’s why it was great to see Gallup recognize Brown’s hard work, and vice versa. But postgame, Gallup said that he fell short of Lamb in one area.
