The Dallas Cowboys faced a series of unsuccessful attempts to score during a game, with Tony Pollard being stopped on 4th-and-goal from the 1-yard line and later from the 2-yard line. The team's head coach, Mike McCarthy, chose to go for it on fourth down instead of taking points, which ultimately did not work. This led to frustration among fantasy football managers and analysts, as Pollard's lack of scoring touchdowns has become a concern. Pollard's performance has been under scrutiny, with comparisons to his previous success and concerns about his role in the team's offense.
Tony Pollard has gone an NFL-high 151 consecutive touches without a touchdown
Tony Pollard is eerily following the Ben Tate career path. Elite, elite handcuff behind a beloved fantasy RB transitioning into utter failure as a starter. https://t.co/L15yV0H1bs

Tony Pollard marches Dallas all the way down to the 1-yard line and then they play-action fake it to him and throw it to Jake Ferguson for the TD. Pollard’s nightmare continues.
First #Cowboys timeout, called on 3rd-and-5 following two handoffs to Pollard.
NOOOOOO: Dak changes the play to run, hands to Pollard hoping to pop it into the end zone ... but he's not running with the burst or power-lean he did last year, pre-surgery. Stopped short. Bad early sign against a division rival with nothing to lose.
Tony Pollard an absolute bum. Stuffed on 4th-and-goal from the 1-yard line.
Dallas goes for it on fourth and goal on three and Dak kills the pass to a run and Pollard is stopped on the one. McCarthy passes up on points and it doesn't work.
Cowboys come up short on the fourth and goal from the 2. A short pass to Lamb leads to nothing, Ferguson throw incomplete and Pollard is stopped on fourth down.
Dak to Ferg in back of the EZ but no flag on obvious grab and turn by defender. 4th-and-goal: Cowboys go for it. Pollard is short. No conversion. True: Dallas really needs to figure out their 1st-and-goal packages True: The non-call should've been a flag and new set of downs
Cowboys come up empty on fourth and goal from the 2 Dowdle would have scored there. Zeke would have scored there. Pollard gets 1 yard
Feels like Tony Pollard RB1 szn has drawn to an end
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott probably could have run for TD on third-and-goal incompletion for TE Jake Ferguson. Mike McCarthy keeps offense on field for fourth-and-goal from 2. Tony Pollard stopped nearly a full yard short.
