The Dallas Cowboys convincingly won against the Los Angeles Rams, helping them get back to a tie for the NFC East lead. However, Jason Garrett couldn't help but try and explain what happened during the coin flip that has become a talking point between the two sets of fans.
With tensions rising over how the Cowboys got a great deal due to the gap in judgment that happened during the coin toss, Garrett tried to defuse the situation a bit.
“Yeah, Dak told me he used the word ‘defer’ out there, so we felt like we had a case there,” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said, per Pro Football Talk's Charean Williams. “But they needed to kind of hear it. I actually was coming into the locker room when [Fox sideline reporter] Erin Andrews made me aware that there was some audio they were going to refer back to.”
Dak Prescott also made an effort to clear the air and put the issue to bed.
“Definitely a weird start,” Prescott said. “We wanted to set adversity there instead of on the field, so we could play from behind immediately. Just bad use of words by me. We listened to the audio. We got it figured out. Just wasn’t the cleanest coin flip I’ve been a part of.”
It was a shame that the focus had turned on the coin flip when the Cowboys actually played good football when it mattered. Prescott threw for 212 passing yards and two touchdowns, while Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott were unstoppable on the running game.
Thanks to this win, the Cowboys have reignited their NFC East title hopes. They will need to win the last two games in order to make the playoffs with their record. Garrett hopes to see more performances like this in order to possibly save his job.
