Dallas Cowboys come up short of predictions, lose to Seattle Seahawks in 223.86-156.38 rout

There's no way around it, Dallas Cowboys underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Seattle Seahawks rolled to a 223.86-156.38 victory. Seattle Seahawks nabbed an early 15.50-point lead on Thursday. Dallas Cowboys came back to take the lead on Sunday night, powered by Micah Parsons (16 points) and Trevon Diggs (8). Not to be deterred, Seattle Seahawks rallied on Monday night with their back against the wall, as Jordyn Brooks (22 points) and Russell Wilson (17) put them back in the lead once and for all. Seattle Seahawks (1-0) will look to notch another win against Cleveland Browns, while Dallas Cowboys (0-1) will meet Miami Dolphins in an effort to generate some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

Seattle Seahawks
Listen, Seattle Seahawks, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes gumption to roll out a player with zero points (Sebastian Joseph-Day), while still earning the win. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be done.
Dallas Cowboys
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Dak Prescott against the Buccaneers this week. Zero wins and one loss for Dallas Cowboys on the 2022 season. I'm usually pretty old-school when it comes to all these fancy numbers and stuff... but our analytics staff keeps telling me that this is the kind of coincidence we gotta stay away from.
