Everything is bigger in Texas, including the Cowboys' struggles. That fact was glaringly evident in their 34-10 thrashing by the Texans on "Monday Night Football. The Cowboys’ woes started at the top. Franchise quarterback Dak Prescott is sidelined for the season, and tight end Jake Ferguson exited the game with a concussion. The offense looked out of sync, the defense was helpless against the run, and the special teams? The punter was tossing fake punt passes like a baseball warm-up drill. To top it off, the head coach appears to be limping toward the end of his tenure.
As if their on-field problems weren't enough, the stadium itself seemed to rebel. Blinding sunlight streaming through windows hampered potential touchdown catches, and chunks of metal fell from the roof onto the field. The roster? Half the names sound like they were randomly generated by a Madden simulator. In short, things are grim in Dallas. Capping it all off, they were soundly beaten by their in-state rivals from Houston. The game was a disaster, with turnovers, fights, and missteps aplenty. Meanwhile, the Texans handled business in Dallas, cruising to a win that pushed their record to 7-4. Still, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Houston. They didn’t score an offensive touchdown until three minutes were left in the game. The passing game showed glimpses of potential but lacked consistency. For now, Houston celebrates the win, but their search for answers continues.
