This was it. This was about as high stakes a game you’re going to get in the first week of October. And the Cowboys made it that way by embracing the hype around their Sunday Night Football matchup with the 49ers. CeeDee Lamb called it a measuring stick, and Mike McCarthy admitted that it was more than just a game. This would be the game where the Cowboys showed who they really are.
Apparently, who the Cowboys really are is a JV squad. From the opening seconds of the game, they got bullied and battered by the 49ers.
