Misery Index · Despair
Cowboys fans are torching the defense, drafting 6-10-1 obituaries, and clinging to Romo's voice as the lone comfort.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
T.Bridges' interception of B.Nix on the opening drive was the high point, and everything after was R.Harvey ripping off 40 yards untouched and T.Franklin getting behind the secondary twice in the first quarter alone. Down 21 before the offense found a rhythm, J.Williams' one-yard plunge felt less like a response and more like a formality. The defense isn't a unit, it's a turnstile, and 44 points to Denver is the kind of number that doesn't get explained away.
