After entering Week 15 with loads of momentum, the Cowboys quickly went from contender to pretender in the eyes of NFL fans following Sunday’s blowout loss to the Bills.
Dallas, winners of its last five games, fell to Buffalo, 31–10, on the road in a contest that saw Dak Prescott hurt his 2023 NFL MVP candidacy while CeeDee Lamb and the rest of the team also struggled throughout.
Fortunately for the Cowboys (10–4), their spot in the 2023 postseason had already been solidified following the Falcons’ loss to the Panthers. But that triumph ultimately mattered little in the end with Buffalo (8–6) trouncing perceived favorite Dallas amid its fight to claim the NFC East and the NFC’s No. 1 seed.
With the ugly defeat in the books, the Cowboys will now look at the film to try to figure out what went wrong. In the meantime, however, the club and its rabid fanbase will have to endure endless roasts on social media after watching their win streak unceremoniously end:
Bills just flat out bullying the Cowboys

It is not possible to overreact to this game. On either side.

The #Bills are legit good enough to win the AFC.
And the #Cowboys have undone pretty much all the credibility they spent two months building.
Dak Prescott is sewing up MVP ... Most Valuable Pretender.
