The Dallas Cowboys were back at AT&T Stadium in Week 6 against the Detroit Lions, looking to secure their first home win of the season. They didn't get off to a very good start.
Come the end of the first half in Sunday's showdown, the Cowboys found themselves trailing by 21 as the Lions jumped out to a 27–6 lead.
It was a putrid showing on both sides of the ball. Dak Prescott, for the second consecutive week, threw an ugly interception in the end zone. Meanwhile, the rushing attack of Rico Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and even CeeDee Lamb amassed just 14 yards during the first half.
Jared Goff and Co. were having their way with Dallas's defense, too. Just about everything they drew up was working seamlessly, including a jaw-dropping flea flicker that resulted in a 52-yard touchdown for Sam LaPorta. David Montgomery punched in a pair of touchdowns on the ground, too, as the Cowboys simply had no answers.
After a dismal display in the first half, on owner Jerry Jones's birthday no less, football fans couldn't help but crack some jokes at the expense of the Cowboys.
Cowboys fans in recent years: "Man, I just wish we could play the same in the regular season and in the playoffs."

Look the Cowboys are bad. They are bad now. They were bad 5 months ago.

But this coaching staff brings nothing to the table. If you’re not gonna be innovative you better have a tough, physical, disciplined football team.
They have none of that.
Fox promoted Lions vs Cowboys as their game of the week and they might have to switch to another game since it’s a blowout in Jerry Jones stadium.
