Cowboys Defense Under Fire After Loss | Dallas Cowboys News

Dallas Cowboys’ season opener ended in a brutal loss to the Giants, and owner Jerry Jones is furious—blaming defensive communication breakdowns as the main culprit. The team’s lack of physicality and failure to stop outside runs exposed gaping holes, while the running game didn’t support the passing attack enough. Christian Parker’s defensive unit fell short, and leadership must act fast to fix it. On offense, veteran RB Israel Abanikanda was waived to make room for a new back, despite a strong camp. Defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard admitted the Cowboys were outmatched physically by the Giants’ disciplined effort. With major fixes needed, especially on defense, the Cowboys have little time to turn things around before the season slips away.
