That score put Dallas on top 38-35, and they wound up winning 41-35.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_dyll6rm8o\">Since that play, Ferguson has yet to score another touchdown during the regular season.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_n89kmrnbp\"><strong>MORE: <\/strong>Brian Schottenheimer downplays impact Micah Parsons trade has had on Cowboys&#8217; defense<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_5wf1on3lt\">Despite catching 27 passes to start this season, the streak continues heading into Week 4. In all, Ferguson has had 118 targets and 86 receptions without a trip inside the end zone.<\/p>\n<figure data-mm-id=\"_08xacsuxy\">\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\n<p>Jake Ferguson has caught ZERO TDs on his last 118 targets and 86 receptions.<\/p>\n<p>Trey McBride has competition. pic.twitter.com\/ytPXkrHjOM<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2014 Underdog (@Underdog) September 24, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_z69n3qhgg\">It\u2019s a strange stat given his sheer number of targets, as well as the team\u2019s inability to run the ball into the end zone last season. Without a strong running game, it seemed logical that the 6-foot-5, 244-pound Ferguson would have ample opportunities.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_od4hdvm7u\">What makes his streak even more confusing is that it started right after a playoff explosion. Despite losing to the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the playoffs following the 2023 season, Ferguson went off with 10 receptions for 93 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" data-mm-id=\"_opvjjutns\">\n<div>\n<figure data-id=\"_opvjjutns\" data-mm-type=\"image\"><canvas><\/canvas><picture><source \/><source \/><source \/><img title=\"Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson scores a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers.\" alt=\"Cowboys\u2019 Jake Ferguson\u2019s endzone absence becoming impossible to ignore\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n<p>Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson scores a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers. \/ Tim Heitman-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ba45w8h96\">Perhaps the streak will end over the next few weeks with CeeDee Lamb sidelined. Ferguson, who has always been a favorite target for Prescott, will be leaned upon heavily, which could help him put this ugly stat behind him.<\/p>\n<h3 data-mm-id=\"_11vxkoshu\"><em><strong>\u2014\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Enjoy free coverage of the Cowboys from Dallas Cowboys on SI\u00a0<em><strong>\u2014<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_kfer4gv4t\">Dallas Cowboys vs Green Bay Packers Week 4: Betting odds, preview<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_wj7a2gagh\">3 keys to a big Dallas Cowboys victory over Packers in Week 4<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_seq5htusk\">3 best Cowboys fantasy football options without CeeDee Lamb in Week 4<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_dw7f90lg7\">Dallas Cowboys&#8217; initial Week 4 injury report shows 3 starters missing practice<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_c0xpyqd8v\">Cowboys projected to add \u2018physical specimen\u2019 EDGE, massive NT in NFL mock draft<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ydcetbhx7\">PHOTOS: Meet Reece Allman, star of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Netflix doc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Ferguson hasn\u2019t scored a regular season touchdown for the Dallas Cowboys since Week 13 of the 2023 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":98516,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
