Well, that did not go as planned. The Dallas Cowboys were thoroughly annihilated en route to a 42-17 loss to the hands of the Denver Broncos. The offense failed to move the football, the defense could not get any stops, and a young secondary saw injuries to Chidobe Awuzie and Nolan Carroll that only made things worse. Both Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott played poorly, the offensive line failed to get a push, and the offense as a whole could not seem to figure out the Broncos’ elite defense.
The game was baffling to watch.
