Cowboys vs. Lions: The Great Thursday Night Implosion | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm tries to make sense of the Cowboys’ Thursday night meltdown — a performance so bad it should come with a warning label. Between the defense taking the night off, the offensive line playing like they were on strike, Pickens running routes like he’s jogging a 5K, and penalties that felt like performance art, Dallas somehow turned a winnable game into a flaming 44–30 disaster. Playoff chances? Yeah… those packed up and moved out.
But don’t worry — Brandon Aubrey kicked really far, so everything’s fine. Totally fine.
