The Dallas Cowboys are facing significant challenges with a disappointing 3-3 record, highlighted by a crushing 47-9 defeat to the Detroit Lions. Hall of Famer Troy Aikman criticized the team's wide receivers, particularly CeeDee Lamb, for poor route running, which complicates quarterback Dak Prescott's performance.

The Cowboys' defense has also struggled, dropping from a top-five unit last season to 30th in points allowed this year. With a lack of scoring and injuries affecting key players, the team must address multiple issues to remain competitive in the NFC.
