00:00very much scott hansen here with an abridged version of the halftime report both offenses
00:05still trying to find their way tight competitive game though as we are tied at the half to find
00:11out who will come out on top let's rejoin our broadcast team mike torico and greg olson
00:25scott thank you my friend back here on ea sports as we count down to the kickoff
00:30of this second half
00:49we could not ask for more from that first half all even as we begin quarter number three
00:56on the return here's turpin they'll work his way across the 25-yard line
01:02the cowboys offense ready to get going again they'll have it first in this third quarter
01:07low scoring game all time third quarter and a touchdown here could go a long way see if they
01:14can get it on this front first contender
01:16the drive
01:37the drive begins with a run by Williams and some good football players he'll take this forward for a game
01:43of eight
01:47it's a game of eight brings up second and two
01:50at the 40-yard line
01:55from the 35 here's second and two
02:02to throw is prescott
02:05and he's not going to be able to escape the rush here he goes down
02:10that's brandon jones from the safety spot bursting in to record the sack
02:16well as they face this possible three and out following that second down sack
02:20now if you're the quarterback you've got to be thinking get the ball out of my hand
02:24find a matchup i like downfield and try to push this ball past the sticks and keep this drive alive
02:31hit as he throws that one will fall to the turf and it's incomplete the pressure
02:37too much to get away from that time the third down stopped and it sets up fourth down
02:43and barring an aggressive decision here on fourth down it just seemed like a really wasted possession
02:48to go three and out not able to pick up a single first down not only do you not able
02:53to gain any field
02:54position advantage it really takes a lot of the wind out of your sails as you find yourself jogging
02:59off the field and the punt team coming on the broncos offense and jk dobbins set to go once more
03:06and really he has not produced a whole lot of highlights as we thought about coming in that he
03:12could be a featured back in this one instead no running lanes no room to operate stuck at the line
03:18of scrimmage and generally taking this offense out of its flow
03:46in motion it's waddle he'll give it to dobbins and he's gonna be taken down right
03:54at midfield they'll gain 17 on that one a very quick first down remember this one thing it is not
04:04how well or how often you run the ball it's when do you run the ball well in the nfl
04:09and i think
04:10that's what a lot of these offensive play callers are starting to realize can you run the ball well
04:14in critical moments of the game more important than how many gross yards you run for and they'll take
04:21this down inside to 35 and he is having his way another big game this time 18 yards and a
04:30first down
04:31first and 10 at the 32 yard line in some rhythm good drive rolling here's another first and 10
04:44there's a short one taken by ingram and they're gonna be set up in the red zone they've got it
04:51inside the 15
04:53they had their lone touchdown the game earlier and he comes through with the catch and a first down
04:59first in this spot working out of the gun it's next that is incomplete no way to force the football
05:18in there good coverage it'll bring up second down i got high standards for offensive players but in this
05:25case mike i think i'm giving all the credit to the defender he timed that one up perfectly and what
05:31could have been an easy play ends up as an incomplete now it's dobbins and he is crushed in the
05:41backfield
05:42defenders firing through shut it down right away for a loss of yard and after that negative run i think
05:49this changes the play call now on third down so this offensive line has to be a lot better
05:54on first and second down to gain positive yards stay on track because you don't want to be in third
06:01and pass too often in today's nfl
06:12and this is a great example of what can happen when you play complimentary football the back end holds up
06:19nicely in coverage and then that front seven is able to wreak havoc and put an end to this play
06:24on now
06:25it's will lux to try the field goal this from 34 yards he makes up for the earlier miss this
06:35time
06:35the kick is good and the broncos will break our time and take a 10-7 lead job number one
06:44on this drive
06:44find a way to get the lead they of course would have loved to score a touchdown mike but three
06:49points
06:50here that's a pretty good consolation prize as it moves him out in front
07:04so following the field goal lutz is back out to take it away he'll start at the four
07:18so now here are the cowboy their offense ready to make their way back onto the field
07:23this one has been tight so far a field goal separating the two sides this drive kicks off with first
07:32and ten
07:32the ball
07:40has to throw is prescott
07:50a short throw cut by ferguson he'll get about four here as he is taken down all right so anytime
07:58you're
07:58facing the blitz the best thing you can do as an offense is just getting the ball out of your
08:03hand
08:03get into the hands of receiver run after catch in this case nice job by the defense rallying to the
08:09ball
08:09modest game now a second down throw for prescott
08:16that's for ferguson that's for ferguson that's for ferguson once again and he'll get about three here on second down
08:21before he's out of the backyard game on the play brings up third down
08:32third down and three
08:41shotgun snap for prescott
08:45the ball deflected at least a couple of times
08:48to the ground it's incomplete he was looking for george hickens there and now it's fourth down
08:57i think he predetermined that third down throw and even though the coverage was tight he still
09:02tried to fit the ball in there anyway and it ended up falling incomplete i think if he goes through
09:07his
09:07progressions and has a little bit more trust in his protection i think there's an easier throw to make
09:12out there bear catch called and made right there at the 25 yard line at their own lebarco's offense
09:20and jk dobbins set to go once more they lead by a field goal as they go to work with
09:26a first and 10.
09:45a run with dobbins into the secondary past the 40 and it'll be taken down as he takes it just
09:53shy of midfield
09:55terrific start to this drive gain at 23 and a first down well that's how you get a drive started
10:02a big
10:03play here in the run game and you have to imagine this is something we're going to continue
10:07to see success early in the drive
