Monday Night Football Season 12 Episode 5 Dallas Cowboys at New England Patriots

  • September 21, 1981

Dallas Cowboys are heading to Foxborough in Week 5 to take on the New England Patriots Monday Night Football. Both teams have a lot to prove this season, and this game could make or break their playoff hopes.

The Cowboys are coming into this game with a 2-2 record, having lost their last two games in disappointing fashion. Against the New York Jets, their offense underperformed, with Dak Prescott throwing two interceptions, and the team failing to convert on several third-down opportunities. The defense also struggled, allowing the Jets to score 21 points in the first half. The Cowboys will be looking to get back on track against the Patriots, and their offense will need to step up if they hope to win.

The Patriots, on the other hand, have been dominant this season, with a 4-0 record and a defense that has allowed only 27 points in four games. Their offense, however, has not been as consistent, and they have struggled at times to move the ball down the field. Quarterback Tom Brady has not been his usual self, and has yet to throw for over 300 yards in a game this season. The Patriots will need to rely on their defense once again if they hope to win this game.

One key matchup to watch in this game will be between the Cowboys' offense and the Patriots' defense. The Cowboys have one of the most explosive offenses in the league, led by quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott. They will be facing a Patriots defense that is ranked first in the league in both points allowed and total yards allowed. If the Cowboys can find a way to move the ball downfield against this tough defense, they will have a great chance to win.

Another key matchup will be between the Patriots offense and the Cowboys defense. The Patriots have a talented group of receivers, including Julian Edelman and Josh Gordon, but they will be facing a Cowboys defense that is ranked fifth in the league in total yards allowed. The Cowboys will need to put pressure on Brady and force him to make mistakes if they hope to win this game.

Overall, this game should be a closely contested battle between two talented teams. The Cowboys will be looking to get back on track after two straight losses, while the Patriots will be looking to continue their dominant start to the season. It will be interesting to see which team comes out on top in this Monday Night Football matchup.
