The Dallas Cowboys are currently suffering through one of their worst offensive stretches in franchise history. And many blame the absence of star running back Ezekiel Elliott, who is current suspended. Yet, the Cowboys supposedly have themselves a bonafide superstar wide receiver to turn to. At least their paying him like one.
But through the Cowboys current three-game losing steak, Dez Bryant has averaged five receptions for 43.6 yards per game and zero touchdowns. In fact, Bryant hasn’t scored since Week Seven.
And fans who are quick to come to Bryant’s defense, claiming this is a result of poor pass protection by the Cowboys offensive line giving young quarterback Dak Prescott next to no time to throw the ball must remember this: Dez Bryant is not just having a three-game slump.
