Professional football is between inordinately skilled, physical human specimens at the ‘edge’ of capabilities. Physical injuries will happen, even as gruesome as suffered by A. Hutchinson. We all hope for the best recovery possible in his own best interest.
In summery, Dallas Cowboys got run over by Lion’s rushing game and stymied by Lion’s defense across the board of Dallas’s rushing and passing. When was the last time Dallas Cowboys failed to score a touchdown in a game? AI responded with ” 11/22/92 vs NY Giants”. One could but wonder what if A. Hutchinson had played the entire game.
Balance in run and passing was text book execution. Montgomery and Gibbs were in perfect balance. Goff spread receivers’ choice across the entire selection of target opportunities. When necessary he ‘ate’ the sack and avoided risky desperation ‘quail quality’ pass attempts. Fundamentally, Lion’s offensive line was linchpin key to both rushing passing attacks. Continuity as demonstrated in this game could potentially be a harbinger of ending the Bobby Lane ‘curse’.
