The Cowboys lost to Baltimore on Lamar Jackson’s last-second play. SB Nation says coach Brian Schottenheimer’s calls left 11 points on the field, while rookie defenders Jaishawn Barham and Caleb Downs made key stops. Injuries further thinned Dallas’ secondary.
SB Nation’s 11-point estimate draws on three drives: Dallas stalled at the Ravens’ 1-yard line on its opening possession; a second-half shovel pass ended in a fumble recovered by Baltimore; and, on the final drive, a fade to George Pickens was broken up before a false start pushed Dallas back. The Cowboys settled for a tying field goal.
Linebacker Jaishawn Barham was involved in three short-yardage stops; an early fourth-and-1 stop of Derrick Henry was officially credited to Caleb Downs. Dallas was already without defensive backs Malik Hooker, Cobie Durant and P.J. Locke, and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown. Jalen Thompson left with a hamstring injury, while Shavon Revel left with an apparent knee injury; Alijah Clark and Reddy Steward played in the secondary late.
