Controversy! Cowboys Trail Dolphins At Halftime

The Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins are playing in a game that has two explosive offences,

but the first half of the game has been fairly low-key,

with the Dolphins leading 13-7 at the break.

The Cowboys felt one of the most horrible emotions in football after winning the opening kick.

Dallas appeared certain to take an early lead when they drove all the way down to the Miami 1-yard line.

Nevertheless, the drive was cut short before the Cowboys could punch it in

due to a poorly timed fumble by Dak Prescott, and they failed to score.

Despite how terrible that was, the Cowboys swiftly recovered.

Following a field goal by Miami,

Dallas soon reached the end zone thanks to a 49-yard catch and run by CeeDee Lamb,

which proved to be the game’s first and only touchdown.

For a spell, Dallas led 7-3,

but late in the half, Miami stormed back.

Jason Sanders’ second field goal kicked things off,

but Tua Tagovailoa’s four-yard touchdown pass to Raheem Mostert right before halftime sealed the victory.

After a terrible performance in the previous week’s defeat to the Buffalo Bills,

Prescott finished the first half of the game by completing six of nine passes for 121 yards and a touchdown.

Tony Pollard added 20 yards on six attempts,

but Lamb accounted for the lion’s share of that passing productivity with four grabs for 93 yards and a touchdown.

Tua Tagovailoa finished 13 of 21 passes for 182 yards for Miami.

Although both Jaylen Waddle and Raheem Mostert had 50-yard receptions and nine carries for 31 yards each,

they were both shaken up in the first half.

Miami’s touchdown before the half was made possible by a Micah Parsons hit on Tua

that was called back late towards the end of the half.

Micah Parsons, I’m sorry. contentious call.

Avoid hitting the quarterback in this manner. Flag results in a needless TD loss for the #Cowboys.

Even while the first half wasn’t flawless,

it was a significant improvement over the Cowboys’ performance from

the previous week as they aim to demonstrate that they can win on the road.

Dallas’s game plan for the second half is to play defence.
