The Dallas Cowboys fell to the Arizona Cardinals, 27-17, on Monday Night Football, suffering their first home loss of the season and dropping to 3-5-1. Despite an early blocked punt recovered for a touchdown, Dallas failed to capitalize on the momentum. The Cardinals, led by backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, exposed weaknesses on both sides of the line. Dallas moved the ball but repeatedly stalled in the red zone, while the defense allowed nearly 400 yards. The loss extended the Cowboys’ midseason slump and fueled another round of fan frustration online. The defense took most of the heat, and it’s not hard to see why.

Dallas couldn't get off the field when it mattered. Matt Eberflus’ unit looked unprepared and outmaneuvered, leaving plenty to question about both effort and execution. Offensive frustrations were just as loud, with fans calling out Brian Schottenheimer’s red-zone play-calling and the unit’s lack of execution. Dallas reached scoring position multiple times but failed to finish drives, settling for field goals or turning the ball over on downs. Mistakes such as drops, penalties, and questionable fourth-down decisions became a recurring theme. Reactions to Dak Prescott were mixed.

Some fans defended him, citing protection issues and lack of help from his receivers, while others felt he failed to deliver in key moments. His interception and several missed opportunities deepened the perception that he struggled under pressure when the team needed him most. The NFL Network compiled some fan reactions to Sunday's loss against the Giants from local Dallas radio stations. The Dallas Cowboys fell to the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 in their 2025 NFL season opener, but the final score wasn’t what had Cowboys Nation fired up afterward. Instead, it was a crucial non-call in the fourth quarter that left fans questioning whether the referees cost Dallas a chance to change the game’s outcome. The controversy erupted during a pivotal moment when the Cowboys were trailing and desperately needed a defensive stop.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts took off running through the Dallas defensive line, looking to extend a drive that could seal the game. As Hurts made his move, Cowboys defensive end Sam Williams appeared to be in perfect position to make the tackle. However, Williams couldn’t reach the Eagles quarterback, and the replay showed why: an Eagles offensive lineman appeared to grab and hold Williams at the line of scrimmage. One observant fan pointed out exactly what happened during the crucial sequence. The fan highlighted how Williams had been wreaking havoc on Philadelphia’s offensive line all night, making the missed call even more glaring. Huge play at end of ⁦@dallascowboys⁩ @eagles game, and huge missed holding call.
