The Cowboys were bound to lose again at some point, but did it have to be this bad? In a 31-10 loss that felt worse than the final score indicates, very few things went right for the Cowboys in this one. Hardly anyone can claim to have played well, but there were two players who are getting their admittedly empty praise in this week’s rookie report.
iDL Mazi Smith
Mazi Smith was pushed into a heavier workload than usual this week with Johnathan Hankins out with an injury. Naturally, the fact that Dallas got absolutely gashed by the run would suggest Smith played poorly in Hankins’ absence.
