The Star of the Game: DAK Prescott (Quarterback, Cowboys)

After a few weaker players, Prescott (28/39, 330 YES, 4 TD) returned outstanding and had a large proportion that the Cowboys Washington formally dismissed. His pocket movement was just as important and effective as his fit and its overview. He hardly made mistakes and understood it very well to find the gaps in the zones of the defense, sometimes too, because he manipulated the defenders with his eyes or his leg work himself. Under the stroke a great appearance of the quarterback.

The Flop of the Game: Taylor Janice (Quarterback, Washington)

Analysis: Cowboys vs. Washington — The tactical panel

Washington clearly made it clear how your defensive sampan looked like: Shell Coverage Outside and Two Deep Safety in the middle. Underground, a lot of zones just not to leave it outside on Man Coverage against the strong widow outs of the households.

Of course, this led to gaps in the middle as well as generally plenty of space for Underneath Routes and also for the Run Game. And that's exactly what the Cowboys used with short passports over the middle and running meetings as well as screens.

Later, all everyone fell apart and the zones on the sides did not work anymore. Then Prescott increasingly attacked vertically, both across the center and Outside The Numbers.

The cowboys became creative with their defensive front in Pass Rush. With Lawrence and Randy Gregory usually on the square Micah Parsons was positioned as a linebacker, but in that position he was often used as a speed camera. In general, the Cowboys Janice flashed in more than half of his drop backs and thus never breathed a lot of air.
