Dallas Cowboys: Studs and duds from win over Washington in Week 2
By Randy Gurzi
The Dallas Cowboys moved to 2-0 on the season with a win over the Washington Redskins. Here, we look at who stood out both in good and bad ways.
After a convincing win in Week 1 against the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys went back to work as they faced another NFC East foe. This time, it was on the road as they headed to Landover, Maryland to face the Washington Redskins.
Also just like last week, they gave up a rushing touchdown to fall behind 7-0 before kicking it into a different gear. Dallas went with 28 unanswered points this time, and for the second time in as many games, they dropped more than 30 points.
It was an impressive win and sets them up nicely as they have a contest with the 0-2 Miami Dolphins set for next week as they return home to the friendly confines of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Before we get too focused on that game, we look back at their Week 2 victory and pick out who stood out for them — both in good and bad ways — with the Cowboys studs and duds from their second win.
Honorable Mention: Kellen Moore, Stud
Early on, Kellen Moore didn’t look as sharp with the play calling as he did in their first win over the Giants. They went into the second quarter without any points and they were struggling with both the run and pass.
However, he made a few tweaks to the game plan and started to use Dak Prescott‘s legs even — both things seemed foreign under Scott Linehan. Moore continues to show he was a good pick for the offensive coordinator position and hopefully, he will continue to grow and get even better.
