The Dallas Cowboys were terrible for about 50 minutes on Sunday afternoon. The final score reads 28-25, but about one-third through the fourth quarter, Dallas regained possession of the ball trailing by 22 points.

The Cowboys are 12-2 following a loss since the 2021 season. That .857 winning percentage ties them with Buffalo for the best response in the last 3-plus seasons. “I think it definitely carries over,’’ head coach Mike McCarthy said. “I think it’s a reflection of your program, your culture.

After a demoralizing loss to the Saints in week two, the Cowboys are looking to respond using a proven pedigree of bouncing back.

For the Dallas Cowboys, an early challenge awaits as they head into Week 3. After a disappointing 44-19 loss to the New Orleans Saints in their home opener last Sunday, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy met with his players to discuss the team's performance.
