The Cowboys failed to convert a fourth-and-1 with the controversial short-yardage play made popular by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott throws during pregame warmups before facing the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, October 16, 2023.Faced with a fourth-and-1 at the Chargers’ 13 with 2:29 left in the first half, quarterback Dak Prescott tried to move over the back of center Tyler Biadasz. The push of the tush by running back Rico Dowdle and fullback Hunter Luepke didn’t give Prescott enough momentum to get the first down.“I just didn’t get it honestly.
Maybe the Cowboys should have used a bigger back. Dowdle is listed at 5-11 and 218 pounds. Starting running back Tony Pollard should have been in the game, but he’s 6-foot and 215 pounds.The key to the Tush Push is, well the push, and having bodies big enough to get the quarterback across the line of scrimmage.Work in progress? Top of the NFC suddenly doesn’t look so distant for Dallas Cowboys
It set up another questionable decision toward the end of the half when coach Mike McCarthy elected to kick a field goal over taking one more shot at the end zone with eight seconds left.. This is my 13th year covering the Dallas Cowboys. I've covered four head coaches and started covering the beat when Tony Romo took over in 2006. And now I'm in the midst of the Dak Prescott/Micah Parsons era.
