The Dallas Cowboys faced a tough reality on Sunday when they suffered a 28-25 loss to the Baltimore Ravens that left fans and analysts questioning the direction of the team.
This game was a stark reminder of the Cowboys’ weaknesses, as the Ravens’ defense demonstrated their strengths both physically and tactically.
The loss, which comes after two disappointing home performances, has also cast a shadow over the Cowboys’ upcoming schedule.
As usual, when the U.S. team falters, outspoken fan and analyst Skip Bayless is quick to express his disappointment.
In a recent tirade, Bayless put it bluntly: “The truth is, the God’s truth is, my Dallas Cowboys are still pretty bad.”

The game was especially tough for Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb, who managed just four catches for 67 yards.
In contrast, Ravens’ running back Derrick Henry had a stellar performance, passing for 151 yards and scoring two touchdowns.
Henry’s one score came on a 26-yard run in which he eluded several Cowboys defenders.
Baltimore’s ground game was relentless, rushing for an astonishing 274 yards at a rate of 7.6 yards per carry.
This dominance exposed a glaring weakness in the Cowboys’ defense, which continues to struggle against the run.
While the Ravens held a 28–6 lead after three quarters, the Cowboys showed some fight in the fourth quarter.
However, it was a decision that was too little, too late, leaving Skip Bayless and countless fans in disbelief at what unfolded in “Jerry World.”
Looking ahead, the Cowboys face a crucial matchup against the New York Giants on Thursday.
This game now becomes a huge opportunity for Dallas to right their nerves and gain some much-needed momentum after recent setbacks.
