Dallas Cowboys: Vs Chargers| Demarcus Lawrence| Chargers

Vs Chargers:

The Chargers, losers of 16 games by one score or less in the previous two seasons, lost another close one when former Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein booted a 56-yard field goal as time expired to lift Dallas to a 20-17 victory over the Chargers.

The Chargers fell to 1-1 and travel to Kansas City next Sunday.

A game-ahead touchdown by the Chargers was wiped out by an illegal shift penalty, the team’s 12th accepted infraction of the game.

The Chargers then settled for a 29-yard Tristan Vizcaino field goal to tie the game 17-17.

Justin Herbert had hit tight end Jared Cook for a two-yard touchdown moments earlier, but the connection was nullified by the penalty.

Demarcus Lawrence:

DeMarcus Lawrence is an American football defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Cowboys in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Boise State. 

Texas — Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence suffered a broken foot in Wednesday’s practice that will force him to miss six to eight weeks, according to sources.

Chargers:

It may have taken a last-second field goal, but the Dallas Cowboys were able to outlast and outplay the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2 of the 2021 season to improve to 1-1 on the year. Per usual, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but it was enough to secure the victory and in the end that’s what counts.

While there was quite a bit of good, there was also plenty of bad with a little bit of ugly in this Week 2 matchup as well. This is something we as fans may have to get used to, although there is hope we see more good from here on out. That, of course, remains to be seen, but for now let’s focus on the highs and lows against the Chargers.
