The Dallas Cowboys’ historically bad defense summed up in one brutal stat

The Cowboys got blown out, 38-10, at home Monday night by the Arizona Cardinals and while a lot of the focus will be on the play of Andy Dalton, Dallas’ defense deserves so much more of the blame.

Like, historically bad.

Dallas is somehow in first place in the NFC East with a 2-4 record, which shows you how embarrassing that division is. But this team really has no shot at the Super Bowl or anything like that… because of their defense. And Andy Dalton. And a bunch of other reasons.

Yes, that is very bad.

And it’s a major reason why the Cowboys are a total mess right now.
