Misery Index · Miserable
Cowboys fans done blaming the defense and ready to mail the Jones family their resignation letters.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
D.Prescott hit G.Pickens for 28 and again for a 38-yard touchdown, and it still didn't matter, because J.Herbert spent the afternoon completing whatever he felt like — a 23-yard TD to Q.Johnston in the first, a 25-yarder to L.McConkey, then a 50-yard dagger to Q.Johnston in the third that effectively ended it. The offense is doing its part. Whatever the defense is doing is a separate, harder question.
