Halftime Report: The Cowboys look out of sync, Lions lead 6-3

After two-quarters of Sunday afternoon action in Jerry World, the Detroit Lions lead the Dallas Cowboys 6-3. All eyes were on QB Dak Prescott in the first half, as he was returning from his week one injury, and on his opening drive, he went three-and-out.

A drop from WR Noah Brown, an ineffective run from RB Ezekiel Elliott, and a sack on Prescott– it wasn’t looking too hot for him. On the next drive, after the Cowboys’ defense got a quick three-and-out on the Lions, Prescott got his first completion on the day to TE Jake Ferguson for seven yards, but the Boys went three-and-out again.

After quickly stopping the Lions on their first drive, the defense allowed the QB Jared Goff and the offense to seamlessly move down the field with a mix of sweeps, runs, and passes on their second drive. But on a crucial third down in the red zone, CB Trevon Diggs broke up a pass intended for WR Kalif Raymond, and the defense held them to a 40-yard FG.

The Cowboys responded with a 12-play, 72-yard drive that spanned from the end of the first quarter to the second and got a 22-yard field goal from K Brett Maher. Although only three points, Prescott got back into rhythm, and his best throw came when he connected with Lamb for a 24-yard catch.
