Following the 49ers’ defeat, a Cowboys legend makes an urgent demand of Jerry Jones with
In Week 8, the Dallas Cowboys’ early-season woes continued as they lost to the San Francisco 49ers 30–24 on “Sunday Night Football.” The 49ers led 17 points in the fourth quarter, so it wasn’t as close as the final score may suggest. However, late in the game, Dak Prescott brought his team within one possession. Dallas even had a chance to lead late in regulation, but they were unable to move the ball on their last drive, which resulted to a turnover on downs and the game’s eventual conclusion. Nevertheless, San Francisco’s offense was kept to 469 total yards while Mike McCarthy’s team was outplayed in almost every area of the game. Not to add the two-turnover difference brought about by Prescott, the league’s highest-paid quarterback, who made two interceptions. The outcome disappointed many Cowboys fans, including former Dallas standout wide receiver Dez Bryant. To club owner Jerry Jones, the former All-Pro receiver vented his annoyance over a demand. Bryant scribbled, “Fire everybody Jerry,” on X. “Quit f****** around.”
The return of standout defenders Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Daron Bland is imminent, giving the Cowboys hope despite their recent troubles. However, Dallas’ NFL-worst running offense, which was averaging 77.2 yards per game before the 49ers upset, won’t be improved by their return to the starting lineup. This total will only be lowered by the Cowboys’ 56 yards on the ground at San Francisco. When it comes to mediocrity in Dallas, Bryant is well-versed. During his eight seasons with the franchise from 2010 to 2017, the former Oklahoma State standout seen his Tony Romo-led teams produce results comparable to those of McCarthy’s Cowboys era, with impressive regular seasons but little postseason buzz. Dallas has a 3–4 record this season and is now out of the running for the playoffs as of Week 9. With a tough schedule that includes games against the Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans, and Washington Commanders, Jones has to find some solutions, but there is still time to turn things around. And quickly.
