Bills star sends alarming message on cowboys after….
Dallas Cowboys fans won’t be happy with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s game plan.
After the Bills’ 31-10 win over the Cowboys on Sunday, Allen acknowledged there was a strategy in play when facing a team that relies heavily on the dome.
“I think we know what our job is, and we know that we need to win games,” Allen said on December 17. “It doesn’t matter how we do it. And sometimes, a team like this, they’re used to playing inside the dome, they throw the ball a lot, they try to pressure the defense a lot, and I don’t know if anyone’s ever really attacked the run like we did today.
We just trusted our offensive line to make plays, and they did.”
The Bills rushed for 266 yards against the Cowboys’ defense. The Bills’ offense was led by running back James Cook who had a season-high 179 yards and a score on 25 carries. The Cowboys’ lack of a starting defensive tackle in the absence of Janathan Hankins was costly, but the Cowboys’ defense as a whole did not perform well in Week 15 against the Bills.
The Dallas Cowboys now have three blowout road losses this season.
The problem for the Cowboys isn’t just their road woes, it’s the fact that their playoff hopes could hinge on how they fare on the road. Philadelphia holds the tiebreaker in the NFC East race.
If the Cowboys finish second in their division, they would likely face the Buccaneers again in the Wild Card Round. Dallas has suffered blowout road defeats against Arizona, Buffalo, and San Francisco.
Dak Prescott: There’s a ‘Big Difference’ in How the Dallas Cowboys
After the defeat, the Cowboys seem to be trying to figure out why there’s such a big difference in the way they play when they’re on the road vs. when they’re at home.
Dak Prescott said there’s a “big difference” in the way the Cowboys play when they’re on the road
Yeah, it’s a big difference, and that’s really what this next week, and really the next couple of weeks, is about figuring out what that gap is and trying to bridge it,” said Prescott during a postgame press conference on December 17. “Of course, we would love to come out and play like we would at home, and produce like we do, but that just hasn’t been the case. So, we need to figure out what the answers are, and try to bridge that gap.”
“And we can’t be those two different teams,” he added. “We won like we did at home against a really good team last week, the Eagles, and then we come out here and just don’t get anything done.
It’s all three phases of the game, but obviously, when me and the offense doesn’t get off to a good start, it doesn’t help any of that. And it allows them to keep running the ball with a lead, and it just makes it harder for everyone else.
