00:00 In lead 16, the Cowboys head down to Miami to play the Dolphins, two of the most potent
00:04 offenses in the league. Cowboys defense looking to bounce back after surrendering 250, over 250,
00:11 rushing yards to the Buffalo Bills. Weird fact about this, this Cowboys team is 9-1 when leading
00:19 at halftime. Yeah. So what is the key to victory here for the Cowboys? Is it jumping ahead and
00:25 playing with the lead? Is that really as simple as it gets? It is that simple. What's not simple
00:31 is how you do it. Right. If you go back to the Buffalo game, at the very start of that game,
00:36 Dak Prescott has Brandon Cooks open deep. It might be a game-time touchdown. Yeah. And the whole
00:44 complexion of the game might change and they didn't connect. So yeah, fast start, get ahead.
00:52 But how? And maybe you need the ball first, especially against a Miami team. As you said,
00:57 they're the number one scoring offense in football, Dallas number two scoring offense in football.
01:01 I do wonder, maybe we should ask McCarthy that when he's done unwrapping his presents.
01:05 If you get the opportunity, if you win the coin flip, you take the ball first.
01:09 So you have a chance to get ahead in seven or nothing. And it is true, when the Cowboys get
01:15 ahead, everything does start falling in place. The offense feels like it's a, gets in a rhythm,
01:21 which of course you don't, if you're not ahead seven to nothing, you're not in a rhythm.
01:24 The defense gets to start playing downhill and also gets to start using its speed instead of
01:31 getting bullied around. They got bullied in Buffalo. One thing that's helpful for Dallas,
01:36 Miami runs the ball extremely well, obviously, but they do it with speed. They don't bully you.
01:42 It doesn't make it a better problem. It's just a different problem.
