"The Dallas Cowboys lost again. For those keeping track, that's three straight. It wasn't all that long ago when we were crossing our fingers that this team could fight its way back into playoff contention. Alas, those carrots are cooked. While the game teased us with the belief we might see something good, it eventually faded, and it was more of the same for this football team. Here are 10 thoughts on the Cowboys' 34-17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers."
"As fast as things started, they didn't stay that way. Sadly, the Cowboys' offense was done scoring for the day. While they only punted once in the second half, twice they turned the ball over on downs, and one time they fumbled the ball away. The Chargers tacked on 10 more points in the second half, and that was enough to double up the Cowboys."
"It's just never going to get better for the Cowboys' defense. Everything is terrible. Even when they string together a couple of decent plays, they just couldn't hold it together on third down. The Chargers converted 7/11 on third down, including all four attempts in the first half. On the day, Los Angeles finished with 452 total yards of offense."
Dallas Cowboys lost 34-17 to the Los Angeles Chargers, marking a third straight defeat. The game began as a shootout, with both teams gaining over 200 yards in the first half and trading scores; the Chargers scored three touchdowns while the Cowboys had two and one field goal. The Cowboys' offense stalled in the second half, turning the ball over on downs twice and losing a fumble, while the Chargers added ten second-half points. The Cowboys' defense continued to struggle, allowing Los Angeles 452 total yards and allowing the Chargers to convert 7-of-11 third downs, while Justin Herbert completed 23 of 29 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns.
