That's almost criminal. 18 catches with an above 9 yards per reception should produce at a minimum 12 first downs (unless had a huge outlier or two with 50-80 yards catches).One other point worth noting here: out of Witten's catches, only 7 of them produced first downs (most of the rest, though, did put the Cowboys into manageable situations like 3rd-and-1 or 2nd-and-4. Every one of GRONK's catches either produced a first down or a touchdown.
Either that was the case, or the cowboys put themselves in some bad spots through negative plays or penalties.
