The Cowboys lost on Sunday to the Broncos in large part due to another terrible defensive effort. Denver ran roughshod over the Dallas defense—literally. The Broncos notched 179 yards rushing on the day and averaged a whopping 6.4 yards per carry. To pile on, Bo Nix threw for 274 yards and four touchdowns to push his team north of 400 total yards on the day and come away with the 44-24 win.
It's a familiar story for this year's Cowboys. Dak Prescott's offense didn't help matters on Sunday but the defense is so leaky they have zero margin for error in every other facet of the game. The roster at large is talented enough to make things interesting against most teams but only if the defense puts up even the slightest bit of opposition. So far this season they've failed to hit that low benchmark every week.
