However, in the biggest game of the year during the Divisional round against the 49ers, the Cowboys couldn’t deliver. Again. So, after that 19-12loss at San Francisco, changes were inevitable in Dallas. Considering their defense had remarkable perfomances under DC Dan Quinn, the responsibility was up to the offense led by Dak Prescott.
As an immediate consequence, Kellen Moore was fired as offensive coordinator. Now, just a few days after that announcement, the Dallas Cowboys found a replacement in order to fight for another Super Bowl.
