The Cowboys sit atop the NFC East with the Giants, owners of a perfect 2-0 record. By no means does that mean that the Cowboys' play has been perfect. There are plenty of problems that need fixing. Namely, penalties.
For the second consecutive week, the Cowboys hit double digits for the amount of flags thrown.
After getting flagged 10 times for 108 yards on Monday Night, the team has reached 21 infractions for the season. Offensive penalties hurt the Cowboys often versus Philadelphia, nullifying big gains or leaving Tony Romo & Co. with too many 1st and 15's or 1st and 20's.
"You don't want negative plays, and you don't want plays that take it back, and penalties are certainly things that do that to you," offensive coordinator Jason Garrett said. "They just make the down and distance situations that much more difficult. You want your team to play aggressively and free, but you don't want to have those penalties. So those are things that we'll continue to try to work on and hopefully clean up."
