W 30-23 at Commanders · Dec 25, 2025
Misery Index · Miserable
Cowboys fans won by a touchdown and still spent the night cursing Eberflus, the broadcast, and the roster.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Dallas wins 30-23 and the fanbase still sounds like it lost, which tracks for a team caught between contention and the top of the draft. The K.Turpin 86-yard score from D.Prescott provided the highlight, but J.Croskey-Merritt ripping off 72 yards on a single carry in the third quarter is the kind of defensive lapse that lingers. Eberflus discourse isn't going anywhere, and neither is the "too good to tank" math.
What fans said
“Eberflus is a domestic terrorist to the city of Dallas bruh”
