Twitter reactions to Cowboys loss, 'Embarrassing' Dak dimes out critic
A stadium worker called the Cowboys embarrassing, and the $60M QB made sure he'd be punished for it. So goes life in Dallas.
The Dallas Cowboys suffered a 24-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a game that left the team and fans in disarray. Dallas had been on a three-game stretch that included a trip to South America, a road game with no bye, and a short week turnaround. Despite the challenges, the Cowboys were still favored to win, especially with a competitive opponent who was missing their starting quarterback, Baker Mayfield.
However, the Buccaneers' coach, Todd Bowles, led his team to victory despite being 12-15 over their last 15 games. The reaction on Twitter was swift and harsh. While Dak Prescott, Dallas' quarterback, was walking through the stadium tunnel, a worker called out "Embarrassing," to which Prescott responded by ejecting the worker from the tunnel.
The incident quickly became a viral sensation on social media, with numerous reactions from pundits and fans alike. Some praised the Buccaneers for their performance, while others criticized Dallas for their poor showing. The loss was seen as a major setback for the Cowboys, who were coming off a narrow win against the Baltimore Ravens and a surprisingly close victory against the Houston Texans.
The team's lack of preparation and recovery time, as well as their coaching decisions, were all under scrutiny. The article suggests that this could be the most inexcusable loss of the Brian Schottenheimer era, as the Cowboys entered the game with an undrafted rookie quarterback and a secondary that was struggling.
