Cowboys knock off Seahawks in 2020, 284.25-237.80

Cowboys scored a hard-fought win over Seahawks in 2020, coming out on top with a 284.25-237.80 victory. Cowboys never trailed in this one after nabbing a 13.95-point lead on Thursday behind Dre Greenlaw (18.75 points). Rhamondre Stevenson (172 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Najee Harris (86 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) did everything they could for Seahawks in 2020 in the loss. This marks the second time this season Cowboys have beaten Seahawks in 2020, after falling 264.83-226.9 in their last matchup. Cowboys will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while Seahawks in 2020 attempt to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Cowboys
All of the cake, none of the icing: The eight offensive skill starters (five WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Cowboys combined to record a healthy 522 total yards. Not one of those players was able to score a touchdown in Week 15.
Seahawks in 2020
"Not getting many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Seahawks in 2020. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 15. With only 19 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
