Referees Had The Most Accurate Throws Last Night

Good Morning, let’s get your Tuesday started. 3 minutes and 29 seconds is all we need to cover the NFL, College Football, and the MLB.

Let’s get to it.

Monday Night Football

Dallas Cowboys _^(4-2) 20 | LA Chargers _^(2-3) 17

📰 Dak Prescott (21/30, 272 yards, 1 TD) is going to look like the hero in the headlines today after completing 70% of his passes and he rushed for a TD

👎️ The refs were more accurate with their flags than Justin Herbert was(22/37, 227 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT). Herbert missed on a couple of key throws that could’ve changed the direction of the game. Give props to the Cowboys’ front as they did get some pressure on Herbet

#️⃣ 🟨 The Refs threw at least 20 flags last night which is almost as many passes as some teams throw in a game. At least the penalties were pretty even for both teams.

⌛️After a close game the entire night, the Cowboys made more plays at the end of the 4th quarter with time winding down. They grabbed a 4th quarter lead with a field goal and then the defense brought all the pressure, getting a sack and an INT in back-to-back to plays on the Chargers’ final opportunity.

Let’s go through some more good and bad from the game.

🤠 Cowboys 🤠 

➕ The Cowboys showed up in a primetime game and made some plays when needed

➕ Dak made some plays on his feet and that opened the run game up a little bit

➖ The O-line could not pass protect and gave up 5 sacks, a number that should’ve been worse

➖ The Chargers were in lots of 3rd and long positions and though they didn’t convert on many of them, they easily got 99% of the yards they needed, something to look out for in the future

⚡️Chargers⚡️ 

➕ Kellen Moore is for sure a better playcaller than Mike McCarthy. Moore called screens at the right time, managed 3rd downs decently, and drew up some nice plays in the redzone

➕ Austin Ekeler is back in the lineup and he was catching passes out of the backfield which helped open some other options up. Expect him to make an impact in the next few games even though he didn’t collect many yards in the ground game last night

➖ The game actually might not have been that close if it wasn’t for a mishap on the Dallas’ special teams that gave the Chargers the ball at the Dallas 20-yard line.

➖ The Chargers do need to establish a run game if they want to have a shot against Kansas City on Sunday
