The New England Patriots suffered their worst loss in the Bill Belichick era on Sunday, falling to the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 38-3. It was a stunning defeat for the Patriots, who had been one of the NFL’s most successful teams over the past two decades.
The Cowboys dominated the game from start to finish, scoring twice on defense and holding the Patriots to just three points. The Cowboys’ defense was particularly impressive, as they held the Patriots to just 182 total yards and forced three turnovers. The Patriots offense was unable to get anything going, as Tom Brady was sacked five times and threw two interceptions.
The Patriots have been one of the NFL’s most successful teams since Belichick took over in 2000, but this loss was a reminder that even the best teams can suffer a bad day. The Patriots have been known for their ability to bounce back from tough losses, but this one was particularly humbling.
The Cowboys, meanwhile, were able to take advantage of the Patriots’ struggles and put together an impressive performance. Dak Prescott threw for 212 yards and two touchdowns, while Ezekiel Elliott ran for 86 yards and a touchdown. The Cowboys’ defense was also impressive, as they held the Patriots to just three points and forced three turnovers.
The Patriots will now have to regroup and prepare for their next game against the Philadelphia Eagles. It will be a tough test for the Patriots, but if they can bounce back from this loss they will be in good shape for the rest of the season. The Cowboys, meanwhile, will look to build on their impressive performance and continue their winning streak.
