Dallas Cowboys Coaches ‘Frustrated’ After 20 Players Miss Curfew
By Josh Hill
The Dallas Cowboys have a long and storied tradition of winning in the NFL but they also have a tradition of being a wild team that is sometimes hard to contain.
So far this season, the Dallas Cowboys are one of the best teams in NFL but they’re starting to slip up a bit both on and off the field. While they’re 1-2 in their last three games, the Cowboys are starting to show signs of a team that could be giving up without trying to do so.

The Dallas Cowboys aren’t actively trying to sabotage what has been an excellent season so far, but they’re not doing themselves many favors off the the field. According to Ian Rapoport from NFL Network, as many as 20 Cowboys players missed curfew on Friday night, which is a source of frustration for the coaching staff.

Additionally, the Cowboys are worried more specifically about wide receiver Dez Bryant, who has been visited by the DeSoto City PD as many as six times in four years. Not everything was as sinister as it seems, but the Cowboys are still worried.

The wheels are by no means coming off in Dallas at the moment, but the cracks are starting to show. This sort of thing happens all the time behind the scene in sports, but it’s the type of thing that can derail a season.
Such a thing is the last thing the Cowboys need right now, as this report opens them back up to easy criticism that takes away from their play on the field.
[UPDATE:] Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is denying reports that players missed curfew.
Jerry Jones told Bill Polian and I that there was no curfew violation by any Cowboy players because there was no curfew.
