This loss was Dallas&#8217;s eighth straight against Denver, tying their longest losing streak against any team in franchise history.<\/p>\n<p>The entire debacle began with a horrific lack of discipline, especially when <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/10\/21\/super-bowl-rankings-top-10-contenders\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Bo Nix<\/a> threw an inexplicable interception and handed the Cowboys the ball right near the end zone, at the half-yard line. But instead of capitalizing on this crucial turnover, a catastrophic false start pushed them from second-and-goal at the one to third-and-goal at the six, and they were forced to settle for just a field goal.<\/p>\n<h2>Skip Bayless&#8217; Anger Over Cowboys&#8217; Loss<\/h2>\n<p>Analyst Skip Bayless published a video on his YouTube \u201cThe Skip Bayless Show,\u201d calling this situation \u201csh*tty\u201d play calling:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSchotty, you can&#8217;t be sh*tty,\u201d Bayless said. \u201cThat&#8217;s who you are. You were. This was sh*tty play-calling. That&#8217;s what it was. Just change the O to I and you got it. Because who are you trying to impress? Is it just too easy to hand it to 33 for a touchdown? Is that too easy? I thought you were meat and potatoes like your dad. I thought this was going to be Marty Ball. Pound it and play defense kind of ball. What? What are you doing?\u201d.

He said,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think when you look at it, I&#8217;m not just going to start with the defense. I don&#8217;t think any of us coached or played well enough. We knew we&#8217;d have to come in and own the line of scrimmage. I think it started up front. You got to give Denver a lot of credit. I think they moved us around pretty good, had some big explosive runs, and that&#8217;s hard&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Dallas&#8217;s Defense Was Handicapped By Injuries<\/h3>\n<p>The Broncos&#8217; defense also kept complete pressure on Dallas&#8217;s offense, as a result of which <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/10\/03\/why-quarterbacks-start-slow-nfl-how-teams-adjust-dak-prescott-example\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Dak Prescott<\/a> flushed out of the pocket a lot and was not really throwing the ball with his feet up under him. CBS Sports analyst Tony Romo praised this Broncos D-line, calling it complementary football, where the pass rush is so much that the defensive backs have to work with a time clock in their brains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe combination, it&#8217;s almost like complementary football, so the defensive backs understand there&#8217;s a time clock in their brains,\u201d Romo said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cowboys are not Playoffs Team! - Tony Romo rips Dak &amp; Cowboys after 44-24 ugly loss to Broncos\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FySTrLTeBYU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And when Dallas&#8217;s defense was handicapped by injuries &#8211; especially in the absence of Trevon Diggs (concussion protocol) and Donovan Wilson &#8211; Denver tore through for 157 rushing yards via RJ Harvey and J.K. Dobbins. Bo Nix threw four touchdowns, and Dallas did not get a single sack, because of which analyst Bayless went so far as to say, &#8220;In all my years, I have never seen a worse defense than the one the Cowboys put on the field today&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Now the question is, why is this talented team so inconsistent? Coach Schottenheimer saw the answer in consistency; he said that this is the word that keeps coming back:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s the word, it&#8217;s coming back again, consistency,\u201d he said. \u201cWe&#8217;re not very consistent, and we have to be more consistent&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The team&#8217;s owner, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H9A06U2WOnQ\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jerry Jones, also expressed being<\/a> \u201cnot happy at all with three wins,\u201d even though his team&#8217;s goal is very big. Now the Cowboys have to move forward; he said that good teams look in the mirror and that adversity is a good thing.
