They’ll look to bounce back on Thursday night against the Giants, after getting shredded on the ground by the Baltimore Ravens.
The Cowboys gave up 274 yards rushing and three touchdowns on the ground Sunday as they were hapless to stop Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. It marked the second straight loss as the defense also allowed four rushing touchdowns last week in a 44-19 loss to the Saints.
The Cowboys are frustrated in the locker room
The Cowboys are coming unraveled at the seams, with many players voicing their frustrations on the sidelines on Sunday, including Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb.
Parsons was visibly frustrated on the sidelines during the eventual 28-25 loss to the Ravens. Cameras captured him arguing with veteran DeMarcus Lawrence as Marshawn Kneeland attempted to calm him down.

It’s not a sight fans want to see as the team has struggled early on this season, especially defensively. Parsons didn’t appear to have cooled off much postgame, as he called out his teammates to the media.
“Same thing,” he told reporters when asked what happened in the loss. “Right now, we just got people trying to be Superman. People just gotta own their jobs. We don’t need any Supermans. We just need 11 guys playing together.”
It’s the type of locker room dysfunction you never want to see this early on in the season. The Cowboys have received their fair share of criticism over the years for failing to deliver in the postseason but had still managed to win 12 games each of the past three seasons.
However, the early losses combined with the behavior from CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons — who are two of the team’s biggest stars — puts their playoff hopes in serious doubt.
