In the team’s four losses Dallas Cowboys T-Shirt , they are averaging 13.5 points a game and have never scored over 17 points in any of those games. Even more frustrating is that the defense is playing well. With the lone exception of the Seattle game where they allowed 24 points, the Cowboys defense has given up 16, 16, and 13 points through four quarters of football in those loses. That’s a hard pill to swallow because we can all do the math and draw a conclusion as to what this team’s record would be if the offense could have done a little bit more. Not a lot more, but a little more.From game to game, there are a handful of factors that play a part in the Cowboys offensive woes. Sometimes it’s the play of Dak Prescott as he doesn’t make the throws he should be making. Sometimes it’s the offensive line, with the inconsistency of a rookie guard combined with having both their tackles committing costly penalties way more than they should. While those things are definitely problems, the Cowboys are also not getting enough from their wide receiver group to give their young quarterback the best possible chance to be successful. The Cowboys front office officially waved the white flag on their wide receiver experiment and shelled out a 2019 first-round draft pick to acquire Amari Cooper from the Oakland Raiders. Now, the question begs - will Amari give them the offensive boost they need to win football games?The Cowboys front office personnel pride themselves on landing one of the good ones from the draft and they have the resum茅 to prove it, but let’s not forget that Cooper is already established as one of the good ones from his draft. In 2015, there were 256 total players selected in the draft. Only 14 of those players have made the Pro Bowl. Only five of those players have made it twice. Cooper is one of those five players.There is no denying that Cooper looked like a superstar in the making after his first two seasons in the league. His exceptional route-running skills, acceleration at the top of his routes, and ability to deceive defenders make him a very appealing weapon for any offense. But he also has a history of dropping passes and at times can be invisible. That won’t change in Dallas. He’ll have games where he won’t make much of an impact on the stat sheet, especially on an offense that will feature a heavy dose of Ezekiel Elliott.But Cooper is going to give the team something valuable. His ability to create separation will change the way the Cowboys opponents defend them Dallas Cowboys Hats , because when it comes to that attribute - Cooper is one of the best in the league. Even in what people are considering a down year so far for Amari, he’s still demonstrating he can create space.And this one special trait of his will be like the jelly of the month club - it’s the gift that keeps on giving.With separation, he will give Dak Prescott an open target, and let’s face it - Dak needs his receivers to be open for him to throw them the ball.The threat of having a wide receiver who can get open will have a trickle down effect on the rest of the receivers. Each receiver will get a one-level-down-defender lining up against them now, all courtesy of Cooper drawing the defense’s top corner. Cole Beasley absolutely dominated in 2016 when defenses had to pay attention to a still-respected Dez Bryant. And when the passing game actually poses a threat again, defenses can’t stack the box as much and we all know who is going to benefit from that. Despite all the trouble the offensive line has had protecting Prescott in the pocket this season, one thing they can still do well is run-block.Unfortunately, that’s a talent that becomes wasted when they’re constantly facing an overloaded front ready to stop the run.The Cowboys are hoping that the addition of Cooper can fix all that. Providing a target that Prescott is more inclined to use will definitely help. Dak has shown he can be dangerous at times, when he takes those shots, but he hasn’t been willing to pull the trigger. Just like that saying goes - you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him throw a 90-yard touchdown pass.How the addition of Cooper helps the offense remains to be seen, but we have to be excited about the possibilities. The Cowboys offense has gone through a rough patch of tough defenses so far this season and things are going to get easier for them as the season progresses, but they must have the ability to capitalize or else it means nothing.If Cooper can provide enough of a jolt to turn just one of those Cowboys field goals into a touchdown, that alone would be significant. A four-point boost would have turned their last two losses into wins and we’d all have a much different outlook on things if they went into the bye with a 5-2 record. With as well as the defense has been playing Dallas Cowboys Hoodie , a little bit of an offensive spark could go a long way. Let’s hope Cooper provides that spark. Houston quarterback Deshaun Watson has a knack for making big plays, whether it's with his arm or his feet.But after the quarterback took a few too many unnecessary hits in a 19-16 overtime win against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, his teammates wondered if maybe he should dial things back a bit."I be in the huddle telling him to get down," receiver DeAndre Hopkins said. "I need him. That's what I tell him honestly. Don't take those hits unless you ... have to. But he's a warrior. He wants to get in the end zone every time the ball is in his hands."Watson threw for 375 yards with a touchdown and an interception and ran 10 times for 40 yards for the Texans, who won in overtime for the second straight week.Houston coach Bill O'Brien agreed with Hopkins that Watson is taking too many blows but added that he doesn't want to cut down on the hits at the cost of changing the way he plays."We've got to do a better job of making sure that he doesn't take as many," O'Brien said. "At the same time, it's a fine line because that's part of his game. That's the way he plays the game.""He enjoys that part of the game to be honest with you," O'Brien continued. "I think it's something that we continue to coach and obviously, it's something we don't want an abundance of him getting hit, but sometimes it does happen."The Texans were driving late in the fourth quarter when Xavier Woods intercepted Watson, who threw under heavy pressure, with 10 seconds left and returned it 15 yards to give Dallas the ball at its 47. Watson was taken down hard by two defenders on the play and was slow to get up. He was checked out in the medical tent after that, but returned to throw a 49-yard pass to Hopkins in overtime that set up the game-winning field goal.He took a huge hit earlier when he tried to scramble for a touchdown near the goal line."I try to do what's best for the team," he said. "I know sometimes what's best for the team is protecting myself Customized Dallas Cowboys Jerseys , but when we are down there at the goal line and I'm trying to get in the end zone, that's my mentality. ... I'm built to take those hits. I'm going to give all my will and all my guts to try to get the ball in the end zone."Some things to know about Houston's win over the Cowboys.WATT'S WORKHouston defensive end J.J. Watt had a sack on Sunday night to give him six this season, which is tied for the NFL lead with Cincinnati's Geno Atkins and Watt's younger brother, Pittsburgh's T.J. Watt.Watt has been great in his return from missing most of the last two seasons with injuries and was named AFC defensive player of the month for September last week.The three-time Defensive Player of the Year said he's feeling pretty good but still has work to do."I'm still working back from everything and still getting back," Watt said.NOWHERE TO RUNDallas running back Ezekiel Elliott finished with a season-low 54 yards rushing on 20 carries. It was the third-lowest total for Elliott, who entered the game leading the NFL in yards rushing.Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Houston's defense made it difficult for Elliott to get anything going."They loaded it up in there and did a good job loading up the front," he said. "We weren't consistent running the football inside, really throughout the game ... Zeke ran hard, a couple of times, he almost came out of there, but it was not as consistent as we'd like it to be."100-YARD HOPKINSHopkins finished with 151 yards receiving for his third 100-yard receiving game this season. His 594 yards receiving this season leads the NFL. Coach Bill O'Brien raved about what he brings to his offense."He's a playmaker, he's a great player," O'Brien said. "We're always trying to get the ball in his hands."
