With Lance, it’s important to evaluate him not as a former No. 3 overall pick but simply as a young quarterback who is still finding his way in the NFL. When looking at Lance’s Sunday under that lens, there was plenty to like.
After a slow start (he went 8 of 17 in the first half), Lance found somewhat of a rhythm as the game progressed. He completed 17 of his 24 attempts in the second half while directing two scoring drives and two other drives that could have led to points. Lance was also the Cowboys’ leading rusher with 44 yards on six carries.
Yes, Lance had some passes that were either off the mark, like his incompletion to Jalen Moreno-Cropper on 4th-and-goal at the end of the first quarter. But for the most part, it was a positive step for Lance, who is still in the midst of his first full season with the Cowboys.
