The Dallas Cowboys faced a heartbreaking defeat against the Cincinnati Bengals, losing 27-20 after a critical mistake on special teams. Micah Parsons expressed deep frustration as he left the field before the game ended, unable to watch the final moments.

With the score tied late in the game, a blocked punt led to a turnover that allowed Joe Burrow to connect with Ja'Marr Chase for the winning touchdown. This loss significantly dims the Cowboys' playoff hopes, especially with injuries to key players like Dak Prescott and Zack Martin.
