Oct 14, 2024, 12:36 AM

The Dallas Cowboys suffered their worst home defeat in the history of AT&T Stadium with a 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. This marks the most points the Cowboys have allowed in a game without scoring a touchdown. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who experienced this loss on his 82nd birthday and his 35th year as owner, described the defeat as 'very concerning and very humbling' and noted that Detroit had 'fun at our expense.' Despite the blowout, Jones confirmed that head coach Mike McCarthy's job is safe for now. The loss continues a troubling trend for the Cowboys, who were undefeated at home during the regular season last year but have since experienced multiple significant losses, including another dismantling at home.
