Leary suffered a head injury that forced him out of Sunday’s contest against the Browns in the second half.
There aren’t any teams as bad as the Browns remaining on the Cowboys’ schedule, but there aren’t any daunting matchups, either, save for a Thursday night trip to Minnesota to open December in Week 13.
A banner day for the gameday experience crew – After having a little spelling error a week ago, it was a banner day for the Browns gameday experience crew. It’s understandable, honestly. That Dallas o-line, led by left tackle Tyron Smith and center Travis Frederick, can at times simply take the life out of opposing defenses.
Detroit’s Matt Prater kicked a 58-yard field goal as time expired in Minneapolis to force the extra period, and Matthew Stafford found Tate to make it pay. It was the Browns only lead of the game at 3-0. This had to be more fun as the Cowboys moved up and down the field at will, converting 8 of 12 third downs and both fourth downs they tried. Combined with the overtime score against Philly, the red zone offense of Scott Linehan is clearly winning the strategy battle against their opponents. “They can ill-afford to lose him for any time, especially with the Steelers, Ravens and Redskins ahead on the schedule”. The other two, Rolando McClain and Randy Gregory, aren’t even expected to return at all this year by many around the organization.
Future Pro Football Hall of Fame left tackle Joe Thomas, who has somehow shut down any and all trade rumors including the most recent one from just a couple weeks ago and remained positive and happy that he is a Brown since the day he was drafted in 2007, is also growing exhausted of losing.
Prescott looks as if he’s going to keep it for a while. “We know we’re a good team”. “That’s probably the best team we’ve played from the offensive side of the ball”. Dallas was eight of twelve on third down, and they moved the ball at will. Witten was a mismatch for linebackers Christian Kirksey and Demario Davis, and had eight catches for 134 yards. No, the numbers aren’t great, but they are much better than anyone expected.
“These guys in this locker room are great – great character, great athletes, great guys that prepare as hard as they can every week”.
There is a consistent feeling that is setting in now with every Dallas Cowboys victory in this stunningly good season: Can you believe what is happening?
“It’s absolutely the toughest challenge”, he said. He already owns the franchise records for most starts, most consecutive games played and most catches in a career. It resulted in the ejection of Cleveland C Cameron Erving as well as Dallas DE David Irving. Of course, Prescott’s Cowboys are exponentially better and more talented than the cast of characters that Cleveland calls the Browns this year-and for many previous years. As a result, the offense was inconsistent for a good portion of the game.
“We’re so dynamic it’s insane”, Bryant said. We have to stick together as a family and listen to the coaches. It’s going to hurt because if it doesn’t then you don’t care. “We’ve got some real talent at our quarterback position”. Prescott threw his 10th, 11th and 12th, in just eight games.
