The Dallas Cowboy are now 10-4 following a heartbreaking loss at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars. For much of the game the Cowboys held the lead, but a disastrous third quarter and not making enough stops at the end of the fourth.
On the defensive side of the ball, the game was controlled for the most part with the play of Micah Parsons, Jayron Kearse, Donovan Wilson and DaRon Bland, who now leads the Cowboys in interceptions.
On the offensive side of the ball, QB Dak Prescott had maybe his best game of the season completing 76.7% of his passes, with only one truly bad throw on the game.
As well as the play of WR Noah Brown, who's in the middle of a career year.
On the day, Brown caught six passes on nine targets (lead team) for 49 yards and two touchdowns.
This isn't an isolated incident. For the second game in a row, Brown is the Dallas Cowboys WR2. Targeted 15 times for 10 receptions on 124 yards receiving and his scores from the game.
All of which lead supposed WR2 Michael Gallup, coming off an ACL tear, has not been as consistent of a threat that Brown has been for a portion of the season.
A clean game from the sixth-year pro. Except of course, for that play.
Brown now has 40 catches for 536 yards and three touchdowns on the year. This can be seen as both a good and a bad thing.
Good, as the Dallas Cowboys have been waiting for Brown to be this much of a contributor his entire career.
Bad, since he doesn't display the same threat as a receiver that CeeDee Lamb, Dalton Schultz or (healthy) Michael Gallup display.
Even with the impending arrival of T.Y. Hilton and possibly Odell Beckham Jr, Brown stepping up is a welcomed sign. Just as long as he doesn't make key mistakes like the one above, heading into the postseason.
