The Cowboys come out and show they can bounce back after a loss and handle the Minnesota Vikings 24-14, improving to 6-1 for the first time since 1995, the last time they won it all.
Steven continues to send his thoughts and prayers to former Dallas Cowboys running back Ron Springs and the Springs’ family. Steven talks about NFL Network reporter Adam Schefter’s reporting that QB Tony Romo took out an insurance policy for $30 million should Tony get injured this season.
The Good:
The Cowboys Defense: Yes, I know, it was only the Minnesota Vikings but after the Vikings 1st possession, the defense was stifling all day long. They only allowed 196 total yards to the Vikings, and a season low of 72 passing yards.
The Bad:
Turnovers: The Cowboys turned the ball over twice via fumble. Romo was hit from behind while scrambling out of the pocket and WR Patrick Crayton fumbled after making a catch in the middle of the field. The Cowboys find a way to overcome those mistakes, but they need to find a way to eliminate them all together.
The Ugly:
Injuries: The Cowboys world almost turned upside down when Romo hobbled off the field after trying to make a tackle in the 2nd quarter after Patrick Crayton’s fumble. It was not too serious, but I have seen enough injuries this season and I hope they stop. Romo will enjoy this bye week and hopefully, his hamstring injury will recover quickly so he can be ready for the stretch run!
