Most Cowboys players left facility on Monday before locker-room media availability

The day after an embarrassing home loss to the Cardinals — who have never lost at AT&T Stadium — many of the Cowboys' players skipped a session with the media covering the team.

After a humiliating home defeat against the Cardinals, who have never lost at AT&T Stadium, many Cowboys players skipped a post-game media session. Jon Machota of The Athletic reported that the majority of the roster left the facility before the media availability began. No players were interviewed, and it has been years since such an occurrence.

Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News provided an explanation: the player programs ended earlier than scheduled, leaving the locker room almost empty during the media event. While this is one of the basic weekly obligations for all teams, the reason behind the majority of players bypassing the media availability remains unclear.

However, considering the Cowboys' embarrassing performance, it is unlikely that few were eager to comment on Sunday's game. Particularly concerning, as the team had blown a 14-point lead at home for the first time in franchise history while facing a two-win team that has dominated the Cowboys in recent years.
