Dallas Cowboys' Defense: A Major Concern After Recent Loss

USA, ArlingtonMon Oct 27 2025
The Dallas Cowboys faced a tough defeat against the Denver Broncos, raising serious questions about their defense. After a strong win the previous week, the Cowboys struggled to contain the Broncos' offense, allowing them to rush for 179 yards and score two touchdowns. Dak Prescott, who had been performing well this season, had a tough game. He completed only 19 out of 31 passes for 188 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions. However, the defense was even more disappointing. Michael Irvin, a Cowboys legend, was not happy with the team's performance. He took to social media to express his frustration, saying that the defense was unacceptable. Irvin knows a thing or two about winning, having been part of the Cowboys' dynasty in the 1990s and being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Cowboys' defense has been struggling all season, ranking 30th in the NFL in run defense. This was evident in their game against the Broncos, where they couldn't stop the run or the pass. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had a great game, completing 19 out of 29 passes for 247 yards and four touchdowns. Despite the loss, the Cowboys have a chance to bounce back in their next game. They will face the Arizona Cardinals in a Monday Night Football showdown. This game will be a good opportunity for the Cowboys to improve their 3-4-1 record. The Cowboys need to make some changes if they want to be successful. Their defense needs to step up and start playing better. If they can't improve, they might struggle to win more games this season.
