Asked Brian Schottenheimer about the end-of-half scenario between CeeDee Lamb’s 14-yard and 30-gard catches where time went off the clock. The Cowboys settled for a Brandon Aubrey FG and a 20-14 halftime lead.
“We got the ball backed up. Our mindset was kind of, ‘Hey, let's move the ball. Let's go ensure we get some points.’ We want to end the half with some points or end it with the ball. We hit the short pass (to Lamb). We like to stay on the ball, that's kind of our deal. Why? We want to kind of put the onus on the defense, but we were a little slow getting that play executed, just getting lined up and getting it snapped. But that's one of the reasons why we're able to get the big play to CeeDee is they don't have time to talk about, ‘Hey, alert double moves,’ and things like that. So we hit CeeDee on the double move. I think we could have executed that play a little bit quicker, but we still got two shots at the end zone And when you look at it, come away with points starting on the 14-yard line I was pleased.”
