The Dallas Cowboys wasted no time Thursday, marching right down the field on their opening drive to snag a 7-0 lead, and if you’ve been watching them this season, you know exactly what that means: their red zone dominance is still locked in. Seriously, these guys walked into this game with a ridiculous 13 touchdowns on 16 red-zone drives all year, basically unstoppable.
They kept that streak rolling, chewing up 70 yards in nine plays right after getting the opening kickoff. The drive culminated in Javonte Williams punching it in from 1-yard out with 10:51 left in the first half. Dak Prescott was sharp, going 3-of-5 for 37 yards on that drive, hooking up with George Pickens twice for 29 yards. Even the Bucs’ D couldn’t catch a break, racking up two red zone penalties, including a crucial defensive pass interference flag on Alex Anzalone while he was covering Jake Ferguson in the end zone. Just another sign this Dallas offense is clicking.
This opening statement isn’t just one drive; it’s a flashing neon sign for the rest of the league. When the Cowboys get close, they score, and that kind of efficiency is going to make them a nightmare for defenses all season long.
