Dallas Cowboys vs Cleveland Browns FULL GAME Sep 08,2024 | NFL Today | | NFL 2024 Season

and taken from one yard Deep In The End Zone it's going to be Turpin looking for a seam Turpin can fly and he's out across the 30 and a good Superstar as he started off with Ezekiel Elliot In The Back Field Elliot back in Dallas looking to get to the edge and leaping over people on the first play out to the 38 jumped over dentel Ward first and long Prescott to throw pressure he is deed Dalvin Tomlinson flying through the sack lot of yards to gain here these next two downs second and 27 against the number one defense in the league from a year ago they get it out to CD lamb looking for some blocks making people miss and Lamb with a good effort but still a long way to go you know so Tom Aaron mentioned two rookies on the offensive line that's going to be times today got to spread the ball around keep the play calls creative and dax's got to get the ball out of his hands before Garrett's pass rush and get there on third 19 they're just going to run it Elliot who's got a decent scene but nowhere near a first down as up across the 30 to 32 and the Browns will force Ryan anger to punt it away and Jaylen Darden just called up from the practice squad your former teammate back to receive short kick Darden has Ro L of it up to the 45 into Dallas territory what a start for the Browns on the return for 28 yds now the Browns with great field position to [Applause] start and they'll run it here's Jerome Ford on the right side cutting through and he gets down to the 42 again there bcal back Nick chub remains out tore up his get some clean Pockets let the ball come out of his hand get it to his playmaker here's when he set a quick throw and he gets it there on time for a first down it's the former Cowboy Amari Cooper playing against Dallas for the first time since they like this Tempo they talked about it all off seon here's Watson on a fake slings that out into joku makes a catch but he's tackled immediately maybe a loss on the play that was defense well by dearon over shown so for these Browns we know [Applause] Cooper Watson quick throw underneath well defensed there kayn Carson the rookie knocked it away from Amari [Applause] Cooper Watson comfortable in that pocket let him get a feel for that Rush Dallas going to keep it moving all day Forman Rush Watson back has it bled up into joku again slips down in the flat and trips at about the 36 yd line it'll be a third down and long but we talked about the Cleveland number one defense this Dallas D was with any of their running backs that's just a big time mismatch so right here on the 35 can't afford to lose any yards already in good field goal range here lots of pressure he can run breaks one tackle turns it up field and he's going to be tackled short of a first down and a nice position nice run by oigi zua to catch him and now a decision for Kevin stansky does he go sure looks like he is he will yeah it's a lot of confidence early in the game with his offense I think when you call these plays you feel like okay I got something pretty special on this fourth and three you're a coordinator you know you've got chance to kick a field goal with Hopkins as a reliable kicker but you got a play you like in this situation and there's movement so a fourth and two may turn into a fourth and seven Paul start offense number 79 5y pen for fourth down and that's on Jones who's starting for Conlin today and now fourth and S now they're obviously in field goal range but a big decision early M [Applause] here and looks like maybe they're trying to get him to move a little bit and Cleveland with the play clock winding down will call their first timeout Dallas didn't take the bait last year they've been looking for a kicker for a while and they found him and trying to give Cleveland the early lead [Applause] Hopkins drills it it is good and so the Browns after a defensive stop and a [Applause] [Music] night this is turn way back there and he's going to be content to come on out to the 30 yd line where we see the Cowboys tried on offense so eliminate penalties use that run game to stay ahead of the down and distance get the ball out of your hand quick and we got another whistle so another moving backward situation they can all cover they love getting up there in man coverage playing tight there's B uh getting a little break from Elliot in a short another flag and so we'll see what offside Defense number 90 lined up in the neutral zone 5yd penalty replay first down it's good players at all three levels of the defense back to First and 10 after the couple of penalties here's lamb on a Jet Sweep lamb gets a couple blocks CD lamb and lunging forward for what should be a first down we'll see where they mark it down he's right there so getting lamb the ball talked about Dak out here in performance which you want to see on opening day here's Prescott has a nice pocket throws over the middle great there but it was dropped on the play gavon Turpin looked like he had it right in his chest but it's incomplete and that's when he's able to drive on those throws and good pass defense by Thor Hill they really like a very athletic player Prescot going deep far side of the field looking for l oh what a CCH CD lamb inbounds and a completion at a biggie right over Denzel Ward say you would have paid him the money well they did and that that catch was money for 34 yds Prescott rifling over the middle knocked away beautiful play trying to get it to Ferguson and Denzel ward has his [Applause] revenge here's Dow cuts back and spinning his way down near the 21 now Mike McCarthy and his on the right [Applause] here Dak knows where he's at too third and five pressure right in Prescott's face letting it go he's got for the touchdown it's caught by Brandon Cooks he knows the defender has no help to the pylon great throw and catch and the extra point by Aubrey is up and good their first lead of the game and now the Browns will take it from the 30 all right Tom break it down for us what happened there yeah just great high IQ football coming out quick it doesn't come out quick right that's what a the risk reward of playing that defense by the way uh you didn't hear the call but it's a legal for on Cleveland so they start this drive at the 25 not the 30 and another penalty and maybe moving them back five [Applause] more F start offense number 79 5yd penalty go first down well it's over this defense and the challenges at tackle you've got to stay ahead of the down and distance you start getting behind making these must pass situations get really tough so they go on the ground here try to get forward going and he gets swallowed up for just nowhere to go there's Eric Kendrick the former Minnesota Viking who comes this geme he blitzes he covers he tackles a terrific player second and long Watson underneath has connection it's Jerry Judy who makes the catch so Judy coming over in the off season from Denver in a Trey looking to add something to this offense he's got his first catch these penalties got to clean this up there's m yeah working on that left side blocked up dumping underneath for he's got a way to go head down he's not going to get there stacked up going to be about three yds short of a first down as the Cowboys played it [Applause] well to get the first down so Cory borquez will punt it away for Cleveland [Applause] booming kick here's Turin way back lets it go over his head and takes a Cleveland bounc going to down it at the 10 what a punt from under WPS it's great to have you two TB as the Cowboys started off and a short run with to the left side and so it bring up a second down there as Elliot In the game kind of rotating backs right now now Tom with their offensive line you see Cooper fell an opening week that surprised that when we saw those snaps of him snapping to his mom out there in preparation for it it's not an easy task here's Prescott on the boot that's Jake Ferguson involved Ferguson makes the catch and zips up across the 16 Aaron what is this snapping situation with BB tell us more well TB just he's done a good job hey Mom the more you can do that's amazing third and three here they're going to give on the ground to Elliot big hole and he's got a first down up to the 25 is Elliott backing down and I got to say Elliot we in 15 is just weird I'm sorry what a great player he's been since coming into this league they love having him back here leadership get to him again Elliot and stepping forward for a short game played well by tomon yeah kayn Carson the rookie we saw him make a nice play the cornerback for Dallas he's now number 21 so not only is Carson taking Zeke's number taking Deion Sanders's number I mean no pressure as a rookie quarterback my goodness I know no pressure get out there and play like Prime Time like coach at least give me couple couple games in anyway second and [Applause] N manto man coverage Prescott thrives against that does here in stride lamb up ended but he's got a first down to your point nobody better against manto man he doesn't mind it here we go Prescott tips it in L again on the slide and lamb just Hands Like Glue up to the 41 as Emerson was all over him did you I mean you didn't care obviously you look at your career but did you was was man one guy's got to get your guy down there's technically more yards to gain there which is what happens a lot with CD when he catches in face against man he creates a lot of yard Blitz coming Prescott it's picked up goes to F lamb it is incomplete nicely played by Denzel Ward again that that wasn't a pick going the other way third and five they r him out and Mis fire he Brandon Cooks out there could not connect and the Browns will get it back that's the miles Garrett going off the field hopefully okay A little little slow there but should be fine pting situation here's anger garden with a big one earlier from the eight Jaylen d up to the 20 and that's where Cleveland with Watson who's trying to prove himself in his third year here in Cleveland he start from deep in his own territory pressure from Parsons in trouble Slips Away breaks another gets hit and nearly intercepted as Kay Carson had his hands on it the timing's off again you don't ever want to see the defense touch the ball gets away with a little bit of a lucky throw there pressure up the middle Watson hit as he throws and drops the joku had it he was wide open as Lawrence applied the pressure here's Parsons again might get a chip here he likes that side today pressure again Watson steps up here comes persons and he gets home he didn't get a chip wow got a chip and beat it on you you know what put two on me it doesn't matter so now it's borquez putting from his own goal line here final seconds of his first [Applause] quarter Turpin to get to the Edge gets a good block penalty flies couple penalties too as he's out of bounds let's make him find now he's back up here on the top but they're rotating him quite a few times this game up on the rookie that time who beats him B is out and it is recovered by Dallas four still another sack strip sack from yeah give it to Garrett on the sack that time third and [Applause] long Prescott he's going to jump underneath the Ferguson he's got a mile to go and he's not going to get there up ended by one Thornhill and this Cleveland D who forced the most really keep you from scoring you're going going One Direction of the goal line but both these teams have gone backwards too often today hunt angling towards the sideline well done D takes it right up bounds have it once again looking for some offense only got 30 yards of it thus far they go jumbo formation here trying to get the one game going and that doesn't work and Deshawn Watson he's trying to get it going right Tom ronaldi well KB great to be with you guys no secret he said he wasn't fearful but is it going to run up on Mah parsons's either pretty smart Tom man to man here's [Applause] Amari get the play off Watson over the middle has a man sliding catch Elijah Moore and he's got it and I think he's got it cowboys say no now they've got the ball and they're returning it Donovan Wilson no signal yet he's into the end zone haven't seen the signal for anything just yet Wilson's In The End Zone celebrating line of scrimmage go go go go go go snap the ball snap the ball I mean obviously Dallas has to challenge that right you would think Mike McCarthy's got the challeng flag did I miss something love this keep it up I I really enjoyed that protection over the years thanks Mike oh that's great third nine for gland there's M another long yard situation looks like he going to get a chip Watson sees it comes underneath the Joe through makes the catch and a great open field tackle that time by Jordan Lewis and he stopped short of the first down we've got our first game break let's say hi to Carissa th Browns offensively still struggling in this first St will punt it away [Applause] again and really good punt now Turin going to get to the outside and played well by Cleveland special teams under Mike McCarthy can they go farther that's really the big question for the Cowboys as we start this 2024 season here is Prescott Sliding Away from pressure to loads up going deep he's got CD lamb it is incomplete the ball kind of hung up there for a minute and Emerson and Ward had a chance to recover big plays last year the Dallas Cowboys completed a lot of them one they wish they would have hit sling it out to Elliot here gets a good block and Elliot surging forward and then hard charging run up near a first down we'll see where they mark it and looks like it'll be just short defense third and one here hey nja we go there we go and for the pile goes to move it for a first down I love that play call give it to the big fella when it works it's it's roll out get try to get CD down the field a little flare pass to Zeke it's good way to handle these great pass rers lamb Jet Sweep nice little maneuver lamb first and a more gosh he's so smooth couple really Nifty moves there to pick up the first down to avoid the defensive line is those jet sweeps get them around the corner you don't have to run inside get him out of space let him make yards yeah Elliot on the carry pushing the pile forward you know it's interesting talking to Mike McCarthy this week he said look i' obviously guen the rookies out there if Tyron Smith who's now on the Jets who's a Hall of Fame caliber player was out there I'd still be helping and he said to me Garrett's so good but the importance of helping him at home is even greater Garrett and so is the tackle they've got to get off that's car he's around the corner that comes around Bo he almost got that one but Prescott gets away and is lip the fullback who slides forward as a speeding up for him now they got a lot of bodies inside there third and one oh big scam for D he's got an easy first down well our indeed player resume today is over there at the off defensive left oh he's thinking about moving nope let he go back he went back up top oh first and 10 Prescott keeps it has a lot of time zings in and he's got a completion there caught by Jaylen Brooks who makes a catch has it first Cuts back and he's down to the 20 jayen Brooks just six catches all year last year in his rookie year delivers the beat him back ni play of this drive this time rolling away from Garrett is throw it and a completion there down around the 15 it's cooks that time so all these little nuances that you're talking about just trying to get breathers and that's a good example right there he's not dealing with Garrett on that pass play you're avoiding the defensive line get it out there and let your guys make some plays pressure Prescot set of the screen oh this could work Elliot makes a great move Elliot inside the 10 he's got a first and goal Thornhill on the stop but not before Ezekiel Elliott made the play and picked up the first easy completions sometimes I had a lot of fear thinking about I want to L the ball up here over the D line I think you pick that was a nice throw penalty flag Prescot steps up and he's taken down and we'll see what the flag is offside Defense number 95 yeah so good down there every offense wants to run it in but he's a good pass catcher too so Cleveland struggled keep people out of the Red Zone once got in Elliot's going to be in the end zone Touchdown Dallas inside the five there great drive there by the cowboys that was a nice drive 11 plays 78 yds with Elliot punching it in back in Dallas and au's extra point is up and O look at that ni Squid kick into the end zone and out the back of the End Zone it goes and now you look M Parson right by the way remember that new kickoff will be close the ball back bounced in the field of play and went out the back of the end zone you get it at the 20 not on the 30 so keeping you up to date with that nice job K all right so here's Watson Browns need a little something pressure Watson escapes oh now just gets rid of it and the throw is incomplete he did a great job to get out of it the pass was a little low to Jordan aens meanwhile new right tackle for Cleveland it's Germaine or fetty in on this play Watson lets it zip and that is I mean near nobody incomplete kayin Carson for the Cowboys the nearest receiver Parson has been an absolute nightmare of this game friendly pan and let him go it's going to be too tough for Jones to handle him Parson's lined up top of your screen right here on this third and long Watson quick for just to get rid of it has a completion more and he is bouncing around trying to make something happen penalty from the secondary he's nowhere near first down but let's see what the penalty is and some early boob birds from the crowd here at [Applause] home pass rush cuz they've got to protect not enough distribution in the pass game just makes it tough when you get in these third and Longs five now been longer than third eight pressure on borquez as he gets it away shorter punt this time and it's out of bounds about 41 Cowboys have good stay in ahead of the down and distance here's Prescott has some time lets it rip Far Side Cooks has a sliding catch he had the touchdown catch earlier and he's got a first down for Dallas you know I wasn't sure with you coming in the booth I made sure I did my hair real nicely I figured there' be some more on cameras with me here today you know just just a hunt hey with just more we could do up here to provide The Fan Experience I do what they tell me understand that I'm still a rookie in here this is here go go True Weave True Weave weave here is d a little stter step Dak Prescott big day for him Aaron Andrews Yak have you mentioned that they reached that agreement this morning it was actually at 11:00 a.m. today so that puppy came down to the wire I sat with Doc on Tuesday and before my interview he was in with Jerry Jones for quite sometime thought it was going to be done sooner but who cares it got done and as D told me I just want to be a cowboy for life and he got it with a lot of money yeah well he is wearing that helmet certainly comes with a lot of pressure right and coming off his best year last year good for Prescott is Bing in the game for the first time but Tom you talked about it in the open the game pressure today but really the one thing Dak hasn't done is win in the postseason so what's that pressure going to be like just going forward is it is it more so now that he's signed the deal yeah I think it's Dak obviously we can always point to one player to me it's an organizational thing you're two and five since Dak been there and I don't defense didn't perform well last year in the playoff game the offense didn't perform well the Special Teams didn't everyone's looking at themselves so organizationally they got improve in those big moments and it does start with the quarterback I love to push my Kickers early in the year to see can handle because then pressure games later in the year I feel good about sending them out there for the crazy kick I love that philosophy make these guys feel the stress of the situation got to battle test them early so you know what you got late and I think that's good not just a kicker but every hasn't been able to run [Applause] much they'll run it here to four and he slides through up to the 36 picks up six takes us to the two-minute warning Browns on offense looking to get back in this game there's a couple times got in there last year with five quarterbacks now looking to take the next step today he's looking for some kind of offense yeah going to run it two Ford left side penalties multiple so this looks to be coming back as Ford is a good effort but that is going to be a hold and they brought him in and they want Deshawn to regain that form he had in Houston and and today they've just gone backwards too much another holding penalty long yardage again dealing with Parsons here at the top of the screen Watson tipped in the air and that's intercepted by Kendricks an easy one for this Dallas d as Eric Kendricks as his first interception as a cowboy and guess who got it Parson's tipped it in the a put you in a situation you want to be in now you got Parsons making plays and it just snowballs from there now Cowboys in great shape going to hand it off to Aly and he gets bopped at the 20 already up 14 all three timeouts here you'd love to see defense Cleveland's number one defense make a stop here and at least hold them to a field goal they've struggled last season Once teams got inside inside the red area to stop they gave up the highest percentage of touchdown so and you got Zeke up here to try to maip Second down Prescott going for Ferguson and pretty good coverage there Grant delpit was all over Jake Ferguson he'll bring up a third down and seven yeah this is important going into [Applause] half Prescott in trouble and he is dropped zarius Smith gets a big sack and that'll bring up fourth down [Music] [Applause] as and he throws it boy he is something else right down the middle 20 to3 yeah if you're the Cowboys I can't imagine going in the half thinking this is exactly the way we wanted and hoped it would go played really good defense I think offensively handled Garrett so well done a great job mixing the running the pass the play action pass getting the ball to lamb spreading the ball around that know they miss Ferguson there up the sideline they actually haven't got him involved as much as they were hoping yet but it's a really great start for the Cowboys ball is tipped around and dordan has it and Darden gets dropped by overshown so all right how does Cleveland who hasn't done anything in the first half react to these no to survive against any defense when you do that you come in Monday morning you think guys we're going backwards too much got too many third and Longs no team in the NFL is going to convert third and Longs at a high clip turn on opening day Watson underneath the joku and that is not going to get you much up to the 30 they've got one timeout left you know you I guess at this point the way Dallas defensively has man to handle him who can blame him they've got a little trepidation to turn it over here but there's Watson Mak it rip over what a hit by Donovan Wilson my goodness Jerry Judy got popped and it's incomplete stepped into that thing but again safety's just too close for contact and knocks it out good solid defense we've seen that all day from the Cowboys another third presents another third long now you got Parson standing up just going to hand it off and bluebirds raining down on the Browns and by the way it's not the halfan are going to be in Airplane three oh hopefully not although I am impressed by Julian's acting skills he surprised me with a lot of things Not only was a great player how he's transitioned to media and he's here with us at Fox he's still my teammate we hung out on Thursday night watching some football with my son jack it was really cool to see him all right so here's punt final seconds of the half Turpin from the 20 he's dangerous and he gets taken down up at the 40 but here's the thing we already saw Brandon Aubrey hit a 57 y so I mean realistically they I mean get with what's gone on of 17 points if I'm the quarterback here I'm thinking okay worst case just throw it away if it's not there but you would like to see let's see 12 15 yard gain to give Aubrey a chance they're going to have to be concerned about Garrett who's now at the bottom of the screen going to keep moving him around fourman Rush Prescott farest out of the field and it is caught there out of bounds and Tolbert as the catch stops the clock with 4 seconds left this great left in the half we got a gain 15 what's the play and just solid execution throw it to the sideline you don't even use the timeout but there's a be a hell of a kick from here so this is Brandon Aubrey historic season last year this is a 66 y Browns have a returner back in case it's short it's Ward delay game Aubrey gets into it whistles on this one look at this thing though it would have been good but they blew the whistle is a delay of game I think offense 5y penalty for first down he had it that was good he had it I saw the clock running down I don't know why they didn't call timeout yeah special teams coach is looking for them to reset the play clock I mean that would have tied Justin Tucker's NFL record for the longest kick ever by the way unreal is Mike McCarthy going to give him a shot for an insane 71 y I mean why not yeah well you got a returner back there that's something to worry about 71 this is crazy yeah well they got to cover if it doesn't go in this is a 71 yd attempt and now the Browns will call timeout maybe everyone's going to rethink this one 71 yards third and final time out of the half this be a 30 second time out I Wonder has anyone ever uttered that on an NFL broadcast here's the try from 71 this is uh I can't hit a sand wedge 71 yards uh you know what Mike McCarthy yeah think more of it I I got to say I'm a little disappointed yeah selfishly I just wanted to see it the clowd is booing yeah all right so Brandon auy is maybe somewhat human I mean look he made it they're going to have you know he actually banged that thing through so going forward [Music] maybe they try a hard count to try to gain those five yards back I mean they shouldn't jump through Cleveland well 4 seconds there's nothing you can really throw here they're up guarding it maybe hell [Applause] [Music] [Music] Mar fourman rush now and press stands in gets hit it's will and that is incomplete Prescott second half go we can get back in this guys I'll see how they start they'll do it on the ground with Jerome Ford on the right side and Ford pushing the pile for I know you're not worried about he goes well yeah Tom knows what he's talking about I'll finish up in a minute here's Watson looking to throw outside forward another penalty that's been an issue go ahead Aaron so yeah TB he appre apprciated all the praise from you he also said the biggest key for his offense of course they were staying now they're looking for a turnover their longest play today is eight yards yeah it's tough second and 11 here Blitz is coming quick throw and it's way behind Amari Cooper Mari Cooper just one catch for 11 you're dealing with this pass rush they got Parson standing up here in the middle this package that Zimmer makes it so challenging Here Comes Michael Parsons and there goes Watson his line make Demarcus Lawrence who's also had a fantastic game gets home what five pressures in that first half gets his first sack of the year and another borquez punt Turpin racing up the middle uh-oh kavante Turpin needs one more block he's got it and he goes for the touchdown oh make some pay again you see that early in the season get some opportunities in special teams and yeah 18 I guess the question would be is he still in there here's the run game two4 the record's been good it's just to play his 13th game in three three years there's just a lot of things and a lot of questions to answer and it's incomplete just Tred to make something happened but Trayvon Diggs was all over Cooper Blitz package now you got six guys up there you're dealing with Parsons there's a lot to handle delay game and see if they got the timeout for the delay I think they did [Applause] in Cleveland I don't know if they can make it all the way back but I want to see some good solid execution eliminate some of the penalties try to build something as this half goes third and six and that's a start conversion Jerry Judy has a catch and kind of get a sarcastic cheer that's their longest play of the day and it converts the first down see when you start hitting those more often the coach wants to call them more often [Applause] too Watson out of fake steps away from pressure there's a lot of it and he's tripped up and gets back right around the line of scrimmage oh this Dallas defense you know the timing's off there's Watson middle and it's caught by nooku who makes a nice catch and gets hit but stays with it down inside the 30 he go so finally a little life from the Browns out offense and a 29 out there in the first half and you don't play great hey what are we going to do here in the second half we going to lay down or we going to go out there and fight that's what I want to see from Cleveland Watson again fires over the middle decisively get it uh there for a completion aens that time the backup tight end and he's going to pick up rear year last year first pro bowl at 882 yards but a lot of that came with Joe Flo and the joke into the 10 sorry Tom Dan you got a fiveman protection so you have an open edge here with Parsons he going to have to get rid of it [Applause] quick second and four does get rid of it quick comes underneath to Elijah more that's good for a first [Applause] down especially against a defense that has the pressure rates that Dallas has first down Watson going end zone looking for Judy it's way over thrown good coverage Anyway by Trayvon Diggs who by the way the Cowboys are thrilled to have back out the final 15 games last year tour in ACL you know the problem is they're trying to get Diggs and donon Bland on the same page they're like the interception return for Touchdown brothers and Bland who set a record last year he's out for a while with a foot injury but yeah at least they get Diggs back and seen him make a couple nice plays in coverage today playing for Mike Zimmer who in his first year as Cowboys coordinator but not his first year in Dallas coach here for 13 years before on a Super Bowl in that time and back in Big D second and 10 Blitz is coming Watson this time going for the other side of the end zone Cooper well cover it again that time it's the rookie [Applause] Carson just too much and not much there no real Separation on that it's just doesn't see a clean throw so you put the ball out of the end zone well sign of their offense Amari Cooper only's got one catch today third and 10 here Blitz again quick throw over the middle strike This Time by Watson and it's going to be close it looks to be enough for a first time that is Cooper his second catch see where the spot is and yep first down first and goal good throw by Watson they get up to the line quickly fast probably a run no F pressure though in Watson's face and just throws it away Mara nean the rookie had the pressure [Applause] there yeah CLE Blan clearly did signal first down so then replay and the assist from New York says basically they did make the first down which they all right did Mike just making sure we're not hallucinating here I don't think I've ever seen that yeah that was be quy pretty confused myself up here looking going what happened you you know it's like one of those things if you you know if you if you believe what you're doing it look like you know what you're doing you just you walk into a situation maybe that was the idea you know we're going to thr the offense on the field and maybe people will just believe that was fourth down guess what you know what we're back where we should be 12th play of the drive for the Browns second and goal and it's Watson quick throw looking outside it is caught touchdown Jerry Judy [Music] let's open it up a little bit let's see what I can do he's going to the sideline they get a little confidence a little pep in their step good drive by the Browns first touchdown as a brown for Judy the former Bronco extra point is up and good and finally the Browns have a little something they had a long way to go here 842 to go in the third [Music] quarter and the Cowboys will take it from the 30 well you look about the Rock can roll his offense yeah here we go here's Prescott looking to quiet him going deep down The Far Side to Cooks and it's incomplete we've got another game break what's going on Carissa Thompson well keev the to me in Tampa and I love playing with both those guys those guys are warriors Champions and always good to see those guys play well here is lamb a a little Jet Sweep and upended nicely by Juan Thornhill and lamb is only going to pick up about two and A2 and it'll be a third down and long back on the right side CP create some pressure backs over there they chip him Prescott quick throw over the middle incomplete knocked away nicely Greg knew some excellent coverage on lamb early season football is all about you're trying to learn about your team good stop here's anger's punt short Garden makes a man miss and another gard's had a couple nice returns today gets him up to the 35 questionable to return certainly the Browns need every offensive weapon they can use and try to get back in this one and continue their momentum KB yeah pro ball tight end to joku let him in receptions last year that's a problem here's Watson looking to build on that momentum lets it Fly for Cooper but miss communication but there is a flag as kayin Carson was on coverage [Applause] there Defense number 21 five yards automatic first down yeah seen some of those throws go over at the rookie Carson too so they're doing a good job finding him looks safety leaning that [Applause] side fake to four MERS in the game for the first time Watson loading up going deep again Judy is nowhere near close out of bounds with digs on the coverage I when they went 75 yards down the field and you got to gain something here on second down or you're in another third and long Watson just going to dump it off the four he's got a good rock out there from aens and even better tackle that time from Lewis it looked like he would have a pass to the first down but Jordan Lewis played it really well competitive of course he's a wolverine so it's kind of what we do for Michigan here we go sure they love that here in Ohio tough match up for the center here third down penalty flies Watson and deep trouble and he is sacked Eric Kendricks already has an interception in offense left tackle was uncovered P's deined brings up fourth down Kendrick's drafted by Zimmer when they were in Minnesota a lot of connection there borquez lets loose a rocket of a pun Turpin who's got the punt return earlier there's a penalty on the play Turpin out across the 40 he's up 17 here in this third quarter and here's Prescott back to throw it pressured Out Underneath it's Jake Ferguson who makes the catch but only he's going to pick up two there Jordan Hicks with a nice tackle and now Ferguson slow to get up boy he was their second leading receiver last year behind L require too much time to get the tight end of the ball they have great route treat nooku gives both tough to see both those guys go out for now Blitz coming hand off to Elliot and he's just got nowhere to run Browns pray it well luu coroa in on the tackle now another third down and long coming blit coming Prescott sees it throws underneath and it's short and it's incomplete Nome was there wouldn't have made it anyway as land the intended good complimentary football there see if they can get a return to give him a little field position Dallas offensively hasn't done much in this quarter it's been the punt return that's been it now it's dark oh couldn't move Jaylen Darden and tiptoes his way up to the 45 Tom Brady yeah that's a pretty good lineage right there now the Browns with Watson good field position can they take advantage to Ford who gets into Dallas territory picks up six we pick up a game break with Carissa well Kev uh the game is you remember it well oh Carissa with the research I love it chrisa that was so long ago how do you expect me to remember that a lot of things have happened since but yeah it feels good to get in the end zone I like seeing all these young players getting there getting some live action that's what this weekend's all about see where they're at see where they got to improve third and four it's a rare third and short for Cleveland yeah they've had so many third and Longs average of third and seven over the first 10 it's nice to be in this situation gives you some options then with this pass rush the ball's got to come out quick lot of communication up front going to run it Ford is just Buri that didn't have a chance and Demarcus lawence one of the best run defenders in the league says uh-uh dud got to get him going but they will go fourth and six another tough Blitz package with parsons's in the middle Watson rolling away looking for something nobody's open he is decked and the Cowboys take over de Maran overshown is they want to see a lot more of that from overon third round draft pick last year tour his ACL in the pre-season when they loved him is D on the carry and they expected high things last year obviously back and Mike McCarthy said hey we're going to play him in some sub packages to get his feet wet Cowboys fans were wondering why he wasn't listed as a starter well I think if he's playing in certain packages and giving you that you take it right yeah you want to see hey young player get him out there what's he going to do he's going to make plays like that we got to find more ways to get him the ball or excuse me more ways to get him involved second and five here's D getting the ball sprinting through for a first down and a good hard run is D all the way down to the 31 picks up 10 yards on the play much talent he's got good scheme and good players it's tough for going to be going to be tough for any offense got a lot to deal with trying to get the Run game now away some plot take command of the game game it's Garrett in on dle after a Oney game Cowboys approaching 100 yards rushing now up at 97 and it has been relatively balanced Elliot's got nine carries D's got seven and this Brandon Cooks back he's ready to get back in the game everyone's trying to get in game shape straight to straight week one a lot of years it's been aot eight months since you've been out there for a whole game BR show Blitz it's picked up Prescott comes back underneath and it's incomplete way high for tolber he was looking for the Deep shot and now misses on the short one I'm always thinking not lose yards if you're dck in this situation I'm walking to the Huddle thing and worst thing that could be here is an incompletion and this play is blown [Applause] dead don't think they got the play off now some pushing and shoving TI the snap delay a game offense 5 yd penalty still third [Music] down yeah got to be aware of that play clock and sitting there at the 30 and the field goal kicker banking on a 47 48 yd field goal now it's a 53 y field not that he can't make it cuz he's already made plenty of long ones but just you're in that field goal area between the 30 and the 40 and you're thinking no negative plays got to get some of that back set up a screen lamb lamb makes a man miss but not the next as he's taken down by Shelby Harris and here comes the field go team for the Cowboys of that [Applause] this one from 50 yds out and Aubrey oh he drew it in there wow pretty and make it 30- 10 realize that when it goes from third down to fourth down you got to kick a field goal that you basically Bank on those three points here's Darden after bobbling and up across the 30 he goes to about 32 down three possessions a 18 here's a fake Bon s time D underneath the Ford who's hit immediately by overshown and for gets up to the 36 you know and Tom when you look at this Cleveland offense obviously a lot on the quarterback as we've talked about well sansy what are you looking for why why did you bring dorsy here and he said well I'm looking to get the offense from good to Great like how do we do that here's on second down underneath has a completion to Cedric Tilman who makes a catch so it'll be a third down and two and that's obviously there's probably more things that have to happen than one to kind of get where they want to go yeah a lot of things that need to go right over the course of a long season obviously getting the Run game going has been really important I think the biggest problem what I've seen today is they tried to play a little close to the vest early and get allow DeShaun Watson to feel his way into the game and then get behind and now you're forced into a game that you didn't want to be in throwing the ball as often as they have Watson with a flag steps away got a first down and more if it counts and Watson into Dallas territory now let's see the penalty I don't think this going to count offense receiver number two remember was set prior to snap it's a 5yd penalty win going backwards you can't play offense that way we got to stay ahead we're playing against a good defense again you see enre game was been a third and long for them Carsons again cboys drop a couple off that line Watson still has some pressure he's in trouble gets away has a way to go to get to the first down marker and he's not going to get there almost feel like they have to down 20 fourman Rush it's blocked up Watson still can't find anybody now he's in trouble gets hit as he throws and it's incomplete and the Cowboys will take Prescott on the fake gets it out to Li key the fullback room to roll and the big guy is inside he wants to see everybody contribute I love having fullbacks in there too here's Elliot off the right side and we're told that Jake here's looking to add on for Dallas good couple moves Brandon Cooks inside the 10 and he's taken down there and we do get the two times they did Garrett made a play so they've really settled that down and now they're playing on their terms this entire fourth quarter that's lipkey down playing that tight end roll a little bit now here's Prescott Zips it over the middle Cooks incomplete pretty good coverage by Denzel Ward well we've talked a lot about Parsons miles Garrett had a big there's not going to be any free rushes where he can impact the with a big scream coming out him there on a third and long and that play is upended and dropped Jeremiah Wu coroa all over Ezekiel Elliott and it'll bring up a fourth down really like seeing him as a young player take it to the next level here's AR from 46 yds out and that is up and good he's had a great day wow four for four including a 57 Y at home and Jim we miss you b w started out from the r 30 earlier today it's a new year let's see who shines this [Applause] season so here's Watson just letting to build a little momentum here as Ford on the Run carrying people good for a first down well to Sean Watson look has he been great today no I'm R so much to this offense about getting back on track and it's going to be getting their starting tackles healthy no doubt Waton underneath for catch and caught immediately yeah Dallas they got seven players with multiple pressures on the day and you know in Mike Zimmer's return look Cowboys defense was great under Dan Quinn right Tom I mean they were League leaders and turnovers they were top five defense every year Dan Quinn gets head coaching job with Washington and here comes Zimmer you knew this team had talent but it's really fun how he's going to use similar Personnel differently and down here for Watson there strong makes the catch he's got another first down and he's up near the 37 and so today maybe a little taste to that yeah and I like every many mental gymnastics that you got to go through as a quarterback to understand who's coming who's not coming a lot of people coming right here hands Watson and he throws it away but why was he so tough for you to go against you just didn't know who was blitzing at what time well there's just quarterback good quarterbacks like to play with the anticip patient he's one of the guys that he forces you to hold the ball and wait for it to get open and that's not where you want to be as a starting quarterback here is Watson over the middle good throw that time and a completion to aens backup tit enu holds it in for a first down and you know had a good relationship with Mike Zimmer but he was always the toughest for me to prepare against as Mike the head coach and offensive coordinator for Green Bay yeah there's Watson again got some time here and and a short completion maybe a yard to Elijah Moore I think too if you're coach Zimmer then when you're looking around and you got the opportunity to come back into league and he's been out for this defense and he sees michah Parsons he sees the Marcus Lawrence he sees Trevon Diggs he loves hooker he loves Wilson back there in the secondary he says I want to work with those guys and you see why today Watson far side and that is intercepted Trayvon Diggs has his first since the ACL surgery guy get over there go false F FAL F [Applause] FAL on the handoff this time not much doing a RICO though Aaron I know you're talking to a lot of the players about m Zimmer and his arrival too right well you heard this Kev I mean TB may not have liked playing against Mike Zimmer Dak Prescott loves having it I played with a coach who wasn't afraid to cuss out his players either is it you did I did I I I do have a pretty strong feeling on that too and I I look at the NFL and I think how do you get these Superstar athletes that are around so many people in their lives that tell them how great they are all the time they have agents and they have parents and they have brothers and sisters and you are in a league and you're a great player but it's nice to have that account of push you want to be challenged you want to be criticized you want to be hey you didn't show up to practice today and do the job we needed you to do and if you don't do it on this day it's not going to go well on Sunday and again I was the beneficiary of a lot of that hard coaching and I love that you have an old school coach like Zimmer that does it McCarthy does it discipline accountability are Main Stays and then successful organization up on his own power that's good for the BR 10 thir long where you go Garrett probably a safe play don't want him to make an impact here Qui throw over the middle incomplete try to get it to lamb and the Cowboys will punt it away well why don't we look ahead to next week it's week line of gmage as possible hey Zim put him back there let me see what he can do all I gu you just answered that question he's just telling you how talented he could be this is a shock or a flag it's been the theme where they're trying to confuse you they want them there at left defensive end most of the time and then situationally they're going to move them but they're always going to be looking for their matchups with great players and that's what great coaches do they put their best players in position to make plays Watson this time have some time to throw as a man open it is tipped in it's incomplete he had Cooper throw was a little late and Trayvon digs got way up to knock it away too and not only does he have long arms he can catch the ball so that's why he gets a lot of interceptions he's sneaky long very talented player that's why he's an Interceptor and you just don't see that too [Applause] often get it out to Pierre strong and and he throwing his tackle immed there's DS coming right up from the secondary to make a good tackle he's energized being back at the pick comes out and make a tackle makes that had that reach and they're dangerous when you're throwing the ball trying to throw it over [Applause] them like to welcome those of you who watched the Buccaneers beat the commanders today here it's been all Cowboys in Cleveland as Watson on a third and 10 going to come up short we welcome you to Cleveland along with Tom raldi Aaron Andrews Tom Brady now but star of the day has really been Michael Parsons in this Dallas D fourth and four [Applause] here tight end tight end Aon didn't see him chased away running is going to get to the first down for Clark brings him [Music] down agains that's the story of the game first and 10 man wow there's just no room out there Tom no room and again that Pursuit and that physical tough play by that and you bring in coach Zimmer you're looking for ways to improve on defense they lost some interior pass rush but doesn't look like it today they look like they're swarming the ball oh Watson got clber throwing it deep for Cooper and he can't make the play in and out of the hands that's been the story of the day boy Watson took a massive hit that time from Jordan Phillips there taking some hits and making some downfield throws so might go into next week game trying to open it up a little earlier well another delay game there Kevin stfy says it's on me week Tom right and Kevin stefansky you think about Cleveland calls it second timeout prior to the exploration of the play clock this will be a 30 second timeout but you think about what's defans get has done right I mean he's brought stability here I mean cuz they were they were trying to figure it out and in his fifth year he two-time coach of the year they've Watson to go in there and be the dominant player he was in Houston that's why they traded for him but they're going to need some other parts to come together to give him some help yeah here's Watson that was chub we showed you on the screen by the way aens makes a catch going to be short it'll be a fourth down in about two that's is really good I do too I do too I don't think they're intimidated by anything they saw from the Browns today I think they realized hey this is going to be a great opportunity for our pass rush today and that's been the story of the game obviously playing defensive so well as well as they have defensively but again you go on the road the first game of the season you're Dallas you had one of the toughest losses at the end of last year getting manhandled by Green Bay not doing anything right and you're wor if you're coach McCarthy you're saying what did we do this off season how kind of attitude we going to show up with and I think he's learned a lot from his team today this is a mentally tough team it's a reason why they won 12 straight games three years in a row know we talked all training camp about CD Lamb's contract Dak prescot's contract it didn't affect him today so eliminate distractions play good football in the regular season stress those players to get better throughout the year and that's the kind of team that Dallas wants to be battle tested they've got the defense a lot of consistency on offense and been a great showing yeah and they have been a dominant home team but not a great Road team so that's another good show for them today and here comes Demarcus Lawrence with a strip sack and the Cowboys going to take over I think no Cleveland did they get it back they did oh this pass rush is something else today they have wasn't it yeah but just with the limit on the offense for Cincinnati Saints scoring 47 that was that was something else we see them next week it's four down to the one Sam darnold had a really good debut for Minnesota as they beat the Giants on the road cover it all for you and forward is going to get in for the touchdown now Cleveland will punch one more home with 29 seconds to go Jerome Ford has his first of the [Applause] year well more Flags Tom that's been our theme KB I think that would be well that's an interesting conversation there little pep talk you know it's always a lot to be gleaned early in the year and by no means is this season over for Cleveland I know that's the overreaction on the defense at the snap 5y penalty there's a lot of going El to kick there's a lot of football remaining in the season they got to get some guys healthy let say they didn't play their best game pressure was a problem Dallas wants to do it again next week same level of preparation get right back at it but again impressive performance by the Cowboys coming in here doing what they've done against the playoff team that Cleveland was last year I was expecting lowc scoring game well you know and so the Cowboys couple at home coming up and we've got them on Fox line was struggling in the preseason so a lot of things they needed to get right there and the offensive line N Play in the league is a hasn't been as consistent in the last few years some of that's training camp some of that off seon the development of that position we all love talking about offensive line I love talking about my offensive line over the years they were the reason why so many why our teams were successful big question what does it feel like to do a game that people actually hear I so might get out there tomorrow morning throw some passes just to remember what it feels like but as Michael straand told me in the pregame you're going to wake up tomorrow on Monday morning you ain't going to be sore that I'm very happy about that is true well it's great to have you man we're thrilled you're a part of the team and we're off and running my friend thanks my man it's been a great journey and great that NFL season's underway great for the fans great for everyone who loves football and certainly if you're a Cowboys fan an arousing week one performance
