The Dallas Cowboys lost a tight game to the Arizona Cardinals, 33-30 in overtime, after squandering a 14-point lead. Owner Jerry Jones criticized the team's performance, highlighting significant flaws in the revamped defense led by first-round pick Caleb Downs. Downs faced notable criticism for his coverage and missed tackles, contributing to the team's ongoing struggles in stopping the run, ranking last in the NFL in rushing yards allowed.
