"This game looked like a good old-fashioned Cowboys shootout to start; that did not last as the game dragged on. Receiving the ball first, Dallas opened this game up with a beautiful 10-play, 79-yard drive. It was a consistent dosage of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens to bring the team downfield, before Ryan Flournoy finished it off with a score."
"In the second half, the Cowboys' offensive possessions went as follows: punt, turnover on downs, turnover on downs, turnover on a fumble. That final fumble drive came at the hands of backup quarterback Joe Milton, who took off to run, refused to slide, and paid the price. Overall, the team scored 17 in the first half and 0 in the second. That won't win you many games."
The Philadelphia Eagles clinched the NFC East, ending Dallas's postseason hopes. A Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers finished 34-17, dropping Dallas to 6-8-1 and improving draft position while marking a season low and third straight defeat. The offense began with a strong opening drive and three first-half scoring possessions but produced zero points in the second half. Backup quarterback Joe Milton fumbled after refusing to slide. The defense was ineffective throughout, allowing the Chargers to improve to 11-4 and exposing roster shortcomings.
