00:00 What is up Dallas Cowboys fans
00:06 IndyCarTim here with your Cowboys
00:08 Commanders postgame show and what a
00:11 performance by the Cowboys all the way
00:15 around.
00:17 You know much like the Carolina
00:19 game last week it was slow, slow
00:23 starting slow going there for a while
00:26 Cowboys still had some big plays the
00:28 game was really never in question for me
00:30 and I'm sure it wasn't for anybody the
00:32 way that Cowboys defense was playing the
00:35 way the offense was playing and just
00:38 like the Carolina game you come on in
00:40 the fourth quarter Cowboys scored 25
00:43 fourth quarter points as it was 20 to 10
00:47 heading into the final frame including
00:50 the Daron Bland pick six returned 63
00:54 yards and this one wasn't easy to return
00:56 he had some some would-be tacklers to
00:58 dodge and break free from but he did it
01:01 for his fifth pick six for this on the
01:06 season which is an NFL record he's
01:10 chasing Rod Woodson I believe with 12 is
01:15 the oh that's career I think I don't
01:19 remember what the numbers I looked him
01:20 up early in the game but I don't know
01:21 what it was I've slept since then not
01:23 really but you know overall performance
01:25 by the Cowboys amazing Dak Prescott
01:27 worried me a little bit early in the
01:28 game he had a couple of overthrown balls
01:30 of wide open receivers that very early
01:34 on concerned me slightly but he got over
01:36 it he had a couple of other misses but
01:38 you know what overall 22 of 32 for 331
01:42 yards four touchdowns nobody is going to
01:44 complain about that Tony Pollard 13
01:48 carries 79 yards one touchdown Brandon
01:51 cooks your leading receiver for catches
01:53 72 yards one touchdown just a man I
01:57 thought the offensive line had one of
01:59 their better games that they've had this
02:00 season it looked like an offensive line
02:03 that has to surefire Hall of Famers in
02:05 it of course with Tyron Smith and Zach
02:12 Martin and I never considered this
02:16 before but Tony Romo and Jim Nance
02:19 mainly was throwing out there that Tyler
02:23 Smith has a has a short path to the
02:26 Hall of Fame I don't know how you know
02:28 that this early in his career but I mean
02:30 he had a good game I won't argue with
02:31 that I will never dispute anything the
02:34 great Jim Nance says on the air but yeah
02:37 the offensive line I think had their
02:39 best performance of the season quite
02:40 possibly the Cowboys now in their
02:42 three-game winning streak since the loss
02:44 to the Eagles have outscored their
02:47 opponents 125 to 37 and there are plus
02:52 four in those three games and turnovers
02:54 so everything clicking for the Cowboys
02:56 right now and you need this kind of
02:59 momentum as you head into the home
03:00 stretch now of your your schedule you're
03:03 getting into the a real hard run here if
03:07 you as you've got the Seahawks at home
03:10 the Eagles at home and then you hit the
03:13 road to face the Bills in the middle of
03:15 December and then down south in the AFC
03:18 East to the Dolphins before returning
03:21 home against the Lions on December 30th
03:24 and then you close out the season
03:26 against these same Washington commanders
03:29 at FedEx field where they probably won't
03:32 be able to take hot showers because they
03:33 don't have running water and FedEx
03:35 fields to that's stupid over there but
03:37 you know you hope the Cowboys can
03:39 continue some of this you don't expect
03:40 the dominance to continue necessarily
03:42 winning by you know 35 40 points every
03:45 game but you'd like to see some the good
03:48 play continue and you'd like to see the
03:50 wins certainly accumulate you need that
03:52 December 10th win against the Eagles at
03:55 AT&T Stadium and you need some help you
03:58 need the Eagles to lose again maybe
04:00 twice to catch them for the NFC the NFC
04:04 East title and man how great would it be
04:07 for the Cowboys as well as they're
04:09 playing at home this year for them to
04:12 have some home field playoff advantage
04:14 games and you know this season because
04:16 good lord they're a different team not
04:19 that they're a bad team on the road
04:21 especially against bad teams look what
04:23 they just did Carolina but clearly they
04:25 play better at home this year and that's
04:27 great because that has not always been
04:29 the case in recent memory so kudos to
04:33 the Cowboys Dan Quinn had his his unit
04:35 ready to play Mike McCarthy had his unit
04:37 ready to play it's so good to see
04:38 Brandon Cooke's getting in the involved
04:42 in the offense the last few weeks like
04:44 we knew that he could when he signed
04:46 it's what I've always expected for him I
04:48 was really hoping he and Prescott could
04:50 get a little bit of chemistry going
04:52 while Gallup still tries to figure out
04:54 what the heck's going on with his game
04:56 but CD lamb clearly still your number
05:01 one receiver and you know again Cowboys
05:05 are clicking on all cylinders right now
05:06 as they should be and it's fun to watch
05:09 it's fun to see and you know I don't
05:13 know what else you can say just they
05:15 got to maintain this momentum they got
05:16 to maintain this winning attitude before
05:21 they have to hit the road here again
05:23 against a really hard stretch of all
05:25 teams that are potential playoff teams
05:27 this season so we know what their
05:30 history is against bad teams we've seen
05:32 there are only two real performances
05:35 against good teams this year in San
05:38 Francisco and Philadelphia that's the
05:40 kind of talent level you're gonna see
05:43 clearly in the postseason so we need to
05:46 see something for the Cowboys against
05:49 these good teams down this stretch
05:51 coming up so again Cook's your leading
05:56 receiver for four catches 72 yards lamb
05:58 ended up with four catches 53 yards the
06:02 only thing that concerns me about lamb
06:03 he did have a touchdown too is he had
06:05 four catches on nine targets I don't
06:08 like seeing those those targets go to
06:10 waste again you know Dak wasn't
06:14 completely accurate throughout the game
06:15 especially early he had some big-time
06:17 misses he had a couple of other big-time
06:20 misses the Cowboys receivers were wide
06:22 open all day long he literally could
06:24 have had his choice of targets just
06:26 about on every play the commander
06:28 secondary had nothing to offer Cowboys
06:32 but Curtis Samuel really your only big
06:36 big player for the for the commanders
06:39 nine catches for a hundred yards even
06:42 other than that no one did anything
06:45 Sam how looks look great 28 of 44 for
06:48 300 yards but he had the interception
06:50 the pick six no touchdowns and
06:53 apparently Sam Howell's got a short trip
06:55 to the Hall of Fame as well if you if
06:57 you listen to Jim Nance I don't know
06:59 what his love affair with Sam Howell is
07:00 but God he certainly got one done he's
07:02 really weird but anyway enjoy the win
07:07 enjoy the the rest of the weekend happy
07:10 Thanksgiving to you the Cowboys will now
07:12 set their sights here a week from now on
07:17 the Seahawks excuse me at AT&T Stadium
07:23 and you know we'll be looking for that
07:26 one we'll be looking for another good
07:28 performance the next two home games
07:29 before the Cowboys hit the road and head
07:32 to Buffalo Seahawks and Eagles coming up
