Gringo's Team come up short of predictions, succumb to Cowboys, 257.15-235.54

There's no way around it, Gringo's Team didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Cowboys secured a 257.15-235.54 win.

They were led by Miles Sanders (115 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 21 Rec Yds) and Justin Herbert (243 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs). Josh Allen (238 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 28 Rush Yds) and Davante Adams (7 Rec, 115 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did everything they could for Gringo's Team in the loss. This marks the second time this season Cowboys have beaten Gringo's Team, after falling 340.54-209.98 in their last matchup.

Coach Talk

Cowboys
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative play design from the Offensive Coordinator. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single pass, planned meticulously and executed to perfection. And the final result? A whopping 36 connections on 44 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 82 percent for Justin Herbert this past week. The Falcons secondary didn't see it coming!.
Gringo's Team
