What former Cowboys’ coach Jimmy Johnson said after Dallas lost to Philadelphia
Jimmy Johnson was on FOX’s NFL postgame show following the Dallas Cowboys’ 28-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. What did the former Dallas Cowboys coach have to say?
The former Dallas coach was critical of the Cowboys red zone execution and focused on two plays that swung the game in the Eagles favor.
“For the viewer, it was a great ballgame,” Johnson said. “But you look at the game of inches; you look ... if they execute the rub route just a little better. (Luke) Schoonmaker makes it into the end zone. Or (Dak) Prescott doesn’t step out of bounds. It’s just a little bit more, they could’ve kicked a field goal at the very end.”
“On top of that, we talked about the turnovers in the pregame show,” Johnson continued. “Philadelphia fumbled three different times and recovered all three of them. So it was a game of inches; it was a great ballgame for the viewer. And for Philadelphia.”
The last of those Eagles turnovers came in the waning moments of the game when De’Andre Swift fumbled and the Cowboys had the chance to take possession of the ball deep in Eagles territory but instead had to start their final drive from their 14-yard line.
