Cowboys' Slow Starts; Time To Worry? Practice Injury Report
The Dallas Cowboys have rattled off three straight wins since the nightmare at Lambeau Field that saw cpach Mike McCarthy's team blow a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter.
The lopsided win over the Minnesota Vikings got things back on track. But in the last two games, while they ended with a win, there was the issue of starting slow. It happened against New York Giants, Dallas needing a second-half domination to pull away. It happened again Sunday night against the Indianapolis Colts before a franchise-record 33 fourth-quarter points led to a 54-19 win.
Is it a cause for concern? The Cowboys are aware ... maybe especially so this week, as they play the 1-10-1 Houston Texans, an easy team to overlook.
Part of the ramp-up to Sunday? The Wednesday workout inside The Star, with Tyron Smith and James Washington (both on 21-day windows) participating, and a handful of guys working through illness and injury ...
And a desire to start fast and cruise later against a bad Texans bunch.
