Bills Star Josh Allen Sends Alarming Message on Cowboys After Blowout

Dallas Cowboys enthusiasts might find it displeasing to learn about Buffalo Bills’ quarterback Josh Allen’s perspective on the team’s game strategy. Following the Bills’ commanding 31-10 triumph over the Cowboys, Allen openly acknowledged a tactical approach aimed at exploiting the Cowboys’ reliance on playing in a dome. He emphasized Buffalo’s recognition of opportunities in the running game.

In a statement to reporters on December 17, 2023, Allen expressed the team’s focus on securing victories and their willingness to employ varied methods to achieve that goal. He noted the Cowboys’ penchant for passing, especially in their dome-based play, and highlighted Buffalo’s distinctive emphasis on exploiting the run, a strategy that proved successful in the game. Allen credited the trust placed in the offensive line and running backs for executing plays effectively.

The Bills inflicted substantial damage on the Cowboys’ defense by amassing 266 rushing yards, with James Cook leading the charge with 25 carries for 179 rushing yards and a touchdown. The absence of starting defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins was a significant setback for Dallas, but the entire defensive unit struggled against Buffalo in Week 15.

In Cowboys news, the team faced another setback with three substantial road losses in the current season.

The difficulty for the Cowboys extends beyond their performance away from home; it also involves the harsh truth that their chances of making the postseason might hinge on their performance in away games. Philadelphia has the power to determine their fate in winning the NFC East.

Should Dallas end up in second place in the division, they would probably have to go on the road once more and confront the Buccaneers in the Wild Card round in Tampa. This season, the Cowboys have experienced significant defeats on the road against Arizona, Buffalo, and San Francisco.

Dak Prescott Admits There Is a ‘Huge Difference’ With How the Dallas Cowboys Play on the Road

Josh Allen on recipe to beat Cowboys: "A team like that, they’re used to playing in a dome. They throw the ball quite a bit. And I think teams try to throw on their defense quite a bit.

"I don’t know if anyone’s attacked the run as much as we did tonight." https://t.co/MY0BYKw30h

Following the defeat, the Cowboys seem to be in search of explanations for the significant contrast in performance between home and away games. Dak Prescott acknowledges a “significant difference” in how Dallas plays in their home stadium compared to when they are on the road.

Prescott expressed this sentiment in a postgame press conference on December 17, stating, “Yeah, it’s a significant difference, and really, this upcoming week of preparation and honestly, the next few weeks are about figuring out what that difference is and attempting to narrow that gap. Obviously, we’d like to come out and start the way we play at home, produce like we do at home, but that just hasn’t been the case, so.

“We need to discover what those answers are and strive to close that gap. We can’t afford to be two different teams, you know what I mean?” Prescott continued. “Winning as we do at home against a good team last week [Eagles], and then coming out here today and just not getting anything done.

“All around, in all three phases. But obviously, when I and the offense don’t start well, it doesn’t help any part of that. It allows them to continue running the ball with the lead and just makes it tough on everybody.”
