3 questions after Dallas’ blowout loss to Detroit

The Cowboys’ 47-9 whoopin’ from the Detroit Lions has rightfully created a lot of turmoil. Taken with the big losses to New Orleans and Baltimore, all of them at home, the latest blowout has called just about every level of the team into question. What were some of the key concerns coming out of Week 6?

Why did they go away from Rico Dowdle?

After a breakout game against the Steelers, Dowdle’s usage dropped again to just five carries. This was partly due to the game getting out of hand and Dallas leaning on the pass, of which Dowdle did have a decent share with five catches for 30 yards.
