Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys are having trouble getting touchdowns after getting inside the opponent 20-yard line.
Prescott, new lead back Tony Pollard and the rest of the offense need to show Elliott and the Patriots the Cowboys can punch it in without a prototypical power back. Elliott was released in a cost-cutting move in the offseason.
Dallas also played without three starters on the offensive line because of injuries, including six-time All-Pro right guard Zack Martin after he injured an ankle against the Jets. “This is the tough part about playing in the National Football League,” said star pass rusher Micah Parsons, who had one of the sacks. “Every team has this day. Last two weeks, we were on fire and today we got lit. You look across the league, it happened to a couple of teams. Reality sets in.”Pollard had his first 100-yard game since taking over for Elliott, and it was a mostly efficient one with 122 yards on 23 carries .
LT Tyron Smith was added to the injury report Saturday because of a knee issue. The eight-time Pro Bowler was active but didn’t play.
