Skip Bayless has never been shy about criticizing his Dallas Cowboys, and Sunday’s results gave him plenty of fuel. The Arizona Cardinals, who embarrassed Dallas just a week earlier, crumbled in a lopsided loss to the Seattle Seahawks, making the Cowboys’ defeat look even worse in hindsight.
Seattle dominated from start to finish, rolling to a 44-22 victory behind a punishing run game and opportunistic defense. The Seahawks piled up 198 rushing yards and controlled the clock while forcing multiple turnovers. It was an overwhelming display that exposed Arizona’s flaws and reaffirmed Seattle’s dominance in the NFC West.

For Arizona, it was another stumble in a season that continues to spiral into mediocrity. At 3-6, Arizona is stuck between rebuilding and contending, unable to find direction under coach Jonathan Gannon. The defeat not only buried their playoff hopes but also cast more doubt on their future. According to multiple analysts, they now sit outside the top 10 in projected draft positioning without a clear answer at quarterback.
While Arizona’s unraveling might not surprise most fans, it struck a nerve with Bayless and the Cowboys faithful. Dallas continues to sink in national power rankings after its 27-17 loss to the Cardinals, now sitting in the low 20s across major media outlets. Watching Arizona collapse the following week only highlights how poorly the Cowboys performed against a clearly inferior team.

The frustration grows deeper as rivals like the Seahawks assert themselves as legitimate postseason contenders. Meanwhile, Dallas remains mired in inconsistency, struggling to find an identity on both sides of the ball despite big-ticket acquisitions like Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson.

For Bayless, this latest turn of events validates his criticism. Arizona’s blowout loss isn’t just another result. It’s a reminder of how low the Cowboys have fallen against opponents they once dominated.
