Falcons convert failed Cowboys fake kick into a touchdown, 21-10 lead

The Cowboys got the kickoff of the second half, but did almost nothing with it. They gave the Falcons great field position.

The Cowboys called for a fake punt on fourth-and-2 from their own 38, and punter Bryan Anger’s pass intended for C.J. Goodwin was nearly intercepted by Natrone Brooks. It only delayed the inevitable.

The Falcons scored five plays later on Kirk Cousins’ third touchdown pass, an 11-yarder to RayRay McCloud, extending their lead to 21-10. Cousins ​​also had scoring throws of 9 yards to Drake London and 36 yards to Darnell Mooney.

London has now been ruled out due to a hip injury.

On their second drive of the second half, the Cowboys went for it on fourth-and-1 at the Atlanta 49. But they were called for twelve players in the huddle, their fifth pre-snap penalty today. They ended up punting.
