Stop if you’ve heard this before, but the Dallas Cowboys have given up a defensive touchdown to another team at home. To make things even worse for Cowboys fans and even more hilarious for everyone who hates them, the score occurred within the first few minutes of the game and on the Cowboys first offensive possession of the 2014 season.

DeMarco Murray wasted no time in coughing up the football to the 49ers defense, who proceeded to turn that into the first touchdown of the game.
There was some confusion about how the fumble occurred and if it was legitimate or of Murray was down, but he wasn’t and the Cowboys dutifully gave up the first of what may be many defensive touchdowns on the season.
Here’s the fumble and the score in all it’s glory.
Murray and the cowboys can’t be blamed for all of their problems but they have to be blamed for ones that always happen. Offensively, the team can’t get much right when it comes to turnovers and the fact that one occurred literally minutes into the season isn’t going to tickle many fans.
