Tyler Guyton’s heart was in the right place.
Guyton’s mistake won’t come close to “butt fumble” lore, but it summed up the sorry state of the Dallas Cowboys. Guyton, the Cowboys’ first-round pick and left tackle, allowed pressure on a fourth-quarter play against the Houston Texans, and quarterback Cooper Rush had the ball knocked out of his hands. Guyton scooped the ball out of the air and had visions of glory as he started to run. But he was hit by Houston Texans safety Jalen Pitre and learned that 322-pound men shouldn’t be carrying the ball in the NFL.
