👋 Good morning! - All hope is lost for the Cowboys and now its going to take them beating teams like the Chiefs and Lions to try and save the season but after last night no one is confident. - Ali Jawad

The Dallas Cowboys hit rock bottom Monday night, and this time it wasn’t just the defense.

Dak Prescott and the offense were completely lifeless against Jonathan Gannon’s Arizona Cardinals, falling 27-17 to drop to 3-5-1 heading into the bye week.

The Cardinals, yes, those Cardinals, have now beaten Dallas four straight times and eight of their last nine. Oh, and they did it again without Kyler Murray.

Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett outplayed Prescott from start to finish, adding another embarrassing chapter to the Cowboys’ midseason meltdown.

This was the game that exposed it all. Dallas’ defense managed five sacks but still couldn’t get off the field, giving up 341 yards and allowing Arizona to convert 7-of-12 third downs. Meanwhile, the “high-powered” Cowboys offense crashed hard: 17 points, five sacks allowed, three turnovers, and a 0-for-3 mark on fourth down.

The boos rained down at AT&T Stadium as the Cardinals led 24-7 midway through the third quarter, and rightfully so.

The stars who did get paid? They didn’t show up. Cornerback DaRon Bland, and his $92 million extension, got cooked all night by Marvin Harrison Jr.

Tight end Jake Ferguson’s first-half fumble killed a scoring drive. And Micah Parsons, the guy Jerry Jones didn’t want to pay and shipped to Green Bay, was missed more than ever.

Jones says a trade is coming before Tuesday’s deadline, but it’s hard to see what one move can fix.

The Cowboys are broken in more ways than one, and at 3-5-1, the season might already be lost.

While the Cowboys were getting their butts kicked, P.J. Washington went toe-to-toe with Kevin Durant, dunking on him, blocking him, and NEARLY carrying the Mavericks to a huge road win.

But despite Washington’s 29-point outburst, Dallas’ offense fell apart late, shooting just 38% in the fourth quarter.

The Mavs dropped another, 110-102 to the Rockets, as Klay Thompson’s slump and D’Angelo Russell’s misfires continue to haunt them.

Hockey at Jerry’s world is coming.
