The Dallas Cowboys… woof.

Many expected the Cowboys offense to light up the scoreboard in 2014 and their defense to be the team’s Achilles heel, but the offense sputtered thanks to a terrible start to the game that was spearheaded by poor decision-making and three interceptions from Tony Romo.

Dallas quickly fell in a 28-3 hole and they were unable to climb out.

The Cowboys did manage to make it a game in the end once the San Francisco 49ers took their foot off of the gas, but it was an embarrassing performance at home to start the season.

If Romo doesn’t find a way to cut back on his mistakes, don’t expect the Cowboys to finally make a playoff return.
