Dan Quinn makes huge gesture towards Kellen Moore ahead of coaching searches

The Dallas Cowboys are preparing for the 2022 playoffs after missing the playoffs last year. And while the team is looking to see who they will play in the wild card round, it has been reported that one of their coordinators is looking to see where he will coach next.

According to Damon Marx, Assistant Sports Editor at The Dallas Morning News, Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has been prepping for a head coaching interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars. But he is not doing it alone, as Dan Quinn has been the one helping him and conducting the mock interviews.

Another Dallas journalist, Jon Machota of The Athletic, added this to the developing story.

“Some good insight on the ESPN game broadcast. Cowboys DC Dan Quinn went through a mock interview w/ Cowboys OC Kellen Moore last week to get him ready for his interview with Jacksonville. Brian Griese said Moore told him his interview last night with the Jaguars was about 2 hours,” wrote Machota on Twitter.

Cowboys Offense dominating in Philly

Heading into the locker room for halftime in Philadelphia, the Cowboys lead the Eagles 30-17. Clearly, the offenses are dominating this contest, and it’s not surprising the Cowboys have the lead given the Eagles are sitting numerous starters. Dallas has scored on every possession.

Prescott headed into the locker room with four touchdown passes and 241 yards on the night. Prescott’s final touchdown pass of the half brought him to 36 on the year, which ties former quarterback Tony Romo’s franchise record. The Cowboys signal caller could easily grab that record for himself in the second half, especially given Philadelphia’s inability to stop him.

The Cowboys are relying on relatively big plays on Saturday, as three receivers have a reception of at least 25 yards. Prescott has already passed his total passing yardage from last weekend’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He threw for 226 yards in that 45-22 game.

On the other sideline, quarterback Gardner Minshew is playing in place of typical starter Jalen Hurts. He is 12-for-19 with 106 yards and a touchdown pass to tight end Tyree Jackson.

Of note, wide receiver DeVonta Smith set the Eagles’ rookie receiving record in the game. The first-year player out of Alabama hit 916 yards on the year, breaking former wideout DeSean Jackson’s previous record of 912.

The Cowboys are fighting to move as high as No. 2 in the standings for next weekend’s playoffs, while the Eagles can’t move any higher than No. 6.
