"Like, they will do some things that just baffles you," he said. "I just don’t understand how you have an entire week to prepare for a team, and you go out there and lay an egg like that offensively and give up so many yards defensively and not make adjustments."

"Like [owner] Jerry Jones said after the game: It’s as bad a loss as the Cowboys have had. They have to go back to the drawing board. I think their defense is built on a lead, and I don’t think that’s a sustainable defense in order to win games in critical moments. If a team doesn’t make mistakes offensively, can you stay in the game? And I don’t think the Cowboys can."

Avant, who recently partnered with Action Network, said he sees two things the Cowboys need to fix immediately: stopping the run and getting more weapons for Dak Prescott.
