"The Dallas Cowboys were handled with relative ease by the Detroit Lions on Thursday night. It was frustrating. Prior to the game fans had begun to believe and give this team their heart once more. They deserved this as they had won three games in a row, the second and third of which were particularly impressive, and sometimes you just lose a game. That is life in professional sports."
"We can make note of this while not overreacting and saying that the Cowboys should not extend him now. Pickens has been a revelation for the Cowboys, so much so that he has exponentially increased the expectation that people have of him. It is inexcusable that he could not get things together on Thursday night, and the offense as a whole suffered as a result of it."
"The offensive pass interference penalty at the very end of the game was absurd, but by that point in time Jake Ferguson had already had a bad night. Ferguson has had a solid season in his own right, but he has also had games where he has had oopsie moments that really cost the team. In this particular game he hurt the Cowboys from a penalty standpoint (aside from the bad call at the end) and as a result of his fumble."
The Detroit Lions defeated the Dallas Cowboys decisively on Thursday night, exposing recurring issues despite Dallas entering the game after three consecutive wins. Dallas committed numerous mistakes, including turnovers, penalties, and a lack of urgency that created an early hole. George Pickens had an uncharacteristically poor, disengaged performance that hampered the offense. Jake Ferguson cost the team with penalties and a fumble late in the game. The offensive pass interference call at the end was criticized, though issues predated that play. Special teams outside kicker Brandon Aubrey have struggled. The team will use the mini-bye to rest and reassess.
