Two of the NFL’s preeminent franchises are heading in the wrong direction this season.
The New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys own a combined 2-11 record entering Week 9. The Patriots have been marred by a nightmarish offense, while the Cowboys feature one of the league’s most porous defenses and likely will remain in a world of hurt without Dak Prescott. But even before Prescott’s injury, the Cowboys were trending toward falling well short of the justifiably lofty preseason expectations.
While both New England and Dallas have disappointed in 2020, Damien Woody believes his former club has more so than America’s Team.
