Good, Bad, Ugly: Micah Parsons can’t buy a call, among Cowboys’ frustrations in Week 14

December 10, 2024 by Cowboys Wire

No need to re-hash Amani Oruwariye’s muffed attempt at recovering a live-ball blocked punt. And DeMarvion Overshown’s catastrophic knee injury was painful enough to watch the first time. Those moments were both bad and ugly for Cowboys fans watching the 27-20 loss to Cincinnati in Week 14, but they’re a little too obvious and have already been detailed to death.

This installment of Good, Bad, and Ugly will dive a little deeper into some of the game’s subplots that may have been overshadowed by the headline-worthy stories but contributed all the same to the disappointing outcome. Like Mike McCarthy’s insistence on force-feeding the least successful part of his offense when the play calls mattered most. Or watching Micah Parsons get put in a high-definition chokehold in the middle of a pass rush while the officials were… um… blinded by the sun, maybe? Or the secondary quietly giving up more passing yards than they have in over three years.

But even though Dallas got the L, there were plusses to be taken away. Think back to September and how ridiculous it would have sounded to suggest that Rico Dowdle, Brock Hoffman, and T.J. Bass would be the bright spots in a December primetime matchup. But it’s just par for the course in this wacky season.

Here’s the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly from Monday night’s nail-biter.
