Overview

  • Dallas Cowboys lost to the Miami Dolphins 22-20, marking their second consecutive loss on the road and raising concerns about their performance away from home.
  • Cowboys' offense made early turnovers in the red zone and late penalties that cost them the game, despite a strong fourth-quarter performance from quarterback Dak Prescott.
  • Cowboys are now 3-5 on the road this season, and to win the NFC East, they need the Philadelphia Eagles to lose one of their final three games.
  • Cowboys' defense, which had been praised earlier in the season, was unable to finish the game off late, aiding the Dolphins’ final drive with a face mask penalty.
  • Cowboys' next games are against the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders, and they need to win both to have a chance at the NFC East title.
