Cowboys' Defensive Call Costs Game in Heartbreaking Fashion
The Dallas Cowboys have the NFL's top offense, with Dak Prescott excelling this season. Despite missing their top receiver, CeeDee Lamb, the team's potential is limited due to their defensive struggles under coordinator Matt Eberflus.
In a recent game against the Carolina Panthers, the Cowboys lost 30-27 after a questionable defensive decision by Eberflus on a crucial fourth-and-4 play. The defensive strategy allowed an easy completion to Hunter Renfrow, leading to the Panthers securing the win.
This game was emblematic of ongoing issues with the Cowboys' defense. They gave up over 400 yards to the Panthers, who averaged more than six yards per play and achieved 27 first downs. This performance is consistent with their struggles throughout the season against various opponents.
Eberflus's defensive unit has consistently underperformed, allowing opposing offenses to excel. The team's defensive woes have been a recurring theme, with Eberflus being held accountable for the lack of improvement.
