The Eagles managed to hold on and beat the Jaguars on Sunday, leading into Beat Dallas week. The NFC East rivals are set to clash in Week 10, and while the Eagles showed signs of weakness, the Cowboys have been struggling for weeks—arguably longer—with their performance declining significantly in recent times.
Amid key injuries, questions about effort have resurfaced, alongside a clear lack of discipline. This was highlighted by Ezekiel Elliott being late or absent for so many meetings that he didn’t even travel to Atlanta.
Adding to their already low morale, QB Dak Prescott sustained a hamstring injury that left Jerry Jones “concerned,” and WR CeeDee Lamb exited the game due to a shoulder injury.
Prescott summed up the situation on the sideline, seemingly mouthing what many NFL fans have been thinking.
“We f****** suck.”
It’s too soon to know whether Prescott or Lamb will be fit to play against the Eagles, but those injuries are just the latest issues for the Cowboys.
