For months, there has been significant concern surrounding the Dallas Cowboys, not only because of the unresolved contract situations of Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb that extended into the summer, but also due to unaddressed roster gaps in the offseason.
Following a strong Week 1 victory against the Cleveland Browns, the Cowboys suffered a humiliating defeat by the New Orleans Saints in Week 2, reigniting those concerns.
Dallas will face the struggling Baltimore Ravens at home, and Cowboys legend Michael Irvin expressed worry about his former team heading into the Week 3 clash.
“I’ve never been concerned about that old ‘America’s Team’ label, but now I am,” Irvin said on “Speak.”
The Cowboys’ running game is very weak, and their defense, which was dominant at times last season, collapsed in Week 2.
Prescott completed 27 of 39 passes for 293 yards against the Saints, but threw two interceptions, raising questions about whether he can perform well in critical games.
Dallas lost key players this offseason, including running back Tony Pollard, defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr., and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
It has reached a point where few seem to care about the Cowboys’ regular season achievements, given their consistent early playoff exits.
Last year, the Cowboys topped the NFC East but unraveled in the wild-card round of the playoffs against the Green Bay Packers.
