In Week 15, the Dallas Cowboys (10-4) were humiliated by the Buffalo Bills (8-6) at Highmark Stadium.
Running back James Cook ran 25 times for a career-high 179 yards and a touchdown during Buffalo’s 31-10 victory. He also caught two passes for 42 yards and a score. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was limited to just 134 passing yards and zero touchdowns by a severely injured Bills defense.
Dallas led the league in both points per game (40.2) and yards per game (437.4) coming into Orchard Park. Prior to Christian Benford of the Bills intercepting Prescott, the quarterback had not thrown an interception in four straight games.
On Tuesday, December 19, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones talked about what went wrong in Buffalo during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan. “We were unable to complete. According to The Buffalo News, Jones stated, “Period.” His own fan base, however, mocked his attempt to explain why Dallas struggles away from home (7-0).
“Weather, for example,” stated Jones. “In both wet and dry conditions. You claim that when it’s raining, the opposing team must also play. Yes, they do, but I’m only pointing out one distinction for you. At home, everything is ideal. When we’re traveling, we have the elements, and the weather is particularly bad at this time of year.
