They went to this look on 3rd-and-8, but with Spann-Ford in the spot Williams normally is, and Williams in the backfield. Williams didn't even scan for any rushers to pick up before lazily going out in the pass pattern short of the sticks and into coverage, leaving Prescott to be sacked by Sweat.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Williams' misuse in OT sack play exemplifies Cowboys' offensive miscommunication.

Williams was misused in critical moments; on 3rd-and-8 in overtime, he was positioned as a pass-catcher short of the sticks instead of scanning for rushers to pick up, leading to a Josh Sweat sack that took the game out of control. The source notes the Cowboys had success this season with Williams lined up as an extra blocker just behind the offensive line, but abandoned that look in favor of Brevyn Spann-Ford in that spot.
