Big Winner: Mike Tomlin and the Steelers
No surprise, but not shocking either, is that Mike Tomlin is one of the more astute coaches in the league. His leadership style and strategic approach have kept the Steelers continuously competitive. His guidance this week resulted in a match-up display that underscores their standing in the playoff hunt.
How Tomlin’s Strategy Led to Victory
Tomlin’s game plan was all about controlling the tempo and cashing in on his team’s strength. The Steelers’ defense never buckled down. It forced turnovers from its quarter into critical situations at crunch time. Tomlin’s offensive plan was also a very balanced approach, combining great run plays with targeted passing plays to keep the defense guessing. And this calculated approach brought them a victory that gave them even more confidence and kept them well on their season’s track.
While coaching by Tomlin played an important role, brilliant players made the difference. In this case, while defense began making consistent pressure, offense was completing all the important plays that added to a perfect collective effort of the team. The running game remained in good shape with timely blocks and suitable ball handling that ensured drives didn’t die down. The Steelers played like a well-oiled machine with the influences of Tomlin and his attention to detail.
The Big Loser: Season slipping through the hands of Cowboys
On the flip side, however, the Cowboys then suffer from another tough loss that only added more to their list of problems which seems to be growing in number. What once looked very promising is now nearly slipping away from their clutches as fans are left to wonder what has gone wrong.
Key Factors Behind the Cowboys’ Struggles
The problems the Cowboys are facing are through bad play, missed opportunities, poor execution in critical situations, and partly through injuries to key people. Some of these players that are normally among the ones who would be in the fray have been missing for the whole game or have acted less than standard. The attack in Week 10 of the Cowboys could not find any rhythm, and the defense could not do much to stop the key players of the other party. These two weaknesses have a domino effect and make it hard for the rest of the team to keep themselves competitive.
Critical Mistakes Costing the Cowboys
A series of turnovers and penalties costing them dearly. Missed tackles, blown coverage, and miscommunication only added to their problem. In a league where each game matters, these small yet critical errors are inducing drastic setbacks. Without swift changes, the Cowboys could see their season hopes fade out completely.
More Winners of NFL Week 10
Week 10 had a number of other notable winners that took this chance to perform. From individual performances to team efforts, here are a few standout moments.
Except for Steelers, probably Eagles and 49ers teams reminded everybody of themselves. Two teams that were so well-coordinated and so powerful on offense and critical with their stops on defense, featuring both. Such wins place them in a great position going forward and clearly tells them what to expect in the playoffs.
There were various players, which some people will not forget as they really gave good performances. A defense genius quarterback threw for more than 300 yards. A vibrant wide receiver also opened the game and pocketed several touchdowns. These individual efforts gave the league its flair as it showed everybody who needed it that there was really hot talent galore and spectacular entertainment moments for the fans to enjoy.
Other Notable Losers of the Week
While the Cowboys may have been the main story in the “losers” column, they certainly had plenty of company. Other teams, and plenty of players, had some games that they’d rather forget.
The Bears and the Cardinals were two teams that had a miserable night in Week 10, but especially failed when it mattered. Turnovers and penalties abounded, and one has to wonder about what these teams must do in order to salvage their seasons.
Some of the those players who were expected to steal the show had quite lousy shows. A star running back was unable to run through holes, a quarterback threw interceptions galore, and so on. Fans and analysts have reasons to wonder whether these kind of outings are aberration or point to more profound problems.
