It was not just a 28-16 loss by the Dallas Cowboys to the Arizona Cardinals. It was an embarrassing beating for a team that had created such lofty expectations, especially Dan Quinn’s vaunted defense. Nearly everything fell apart for Dallas in this game, and there will need to be some major adjustments this week to get the team back on a winning track.
There were warning signs in the week before. The Cowboys got some brutal injury news prior to the game with the loss of Trevon Diggs to a torn ACL during practice, but by kickoff, that was ancient history.
