The Dallas Cowboys pulled out a 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts Sunday afternoon, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Colin Cowherd from making fun of them on Monday.
During a segment of “The Herd” this afternoon, Cowherd blasted the Cowboys’ “culture,” saying it is “one that lacks responsibility or details.”
Penalties are a problem
Cowherd began his monologue taking aim at injured Dallas linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who managed to get flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct against the Colts even though he was inactive and wearing street clothes. Overshown was penalized for running onto the field and joining the Cowboys’ celebration after a critical fourth quarter defensive stop.
“We got a guy in a sweatsuit and a cap on the field. It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” Cowherd said.
“The Cowboys have a culture. It’s just one that lacks responsibility or details… It’s just a circus.”

The longtime FS1 host then turned his attention to Dallas’ 14 penalties for 153 yards, including two infractions that wiped out huge plays by star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.
“It’s just a circus,” Cowherd said. “It’s ridiculous. They’re so loose, no attention to details.”
Trouble coming?
Cowherd also noted that despite the fact the 2-7 Colts recently traded away stars Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner and were outgained by the Cowboys by over 200 yards, Indianapolis actually led 23-20 with 1:37 to play before Dak Prescott led a quick drive for the winning touchdown.
At 4-5, Dallas is still in the hunt in the NFC East, which is currently led by the 5-2-1 New York Giants. However, Cowherd predicts that the team’s upcoming schedule will be an issue.
“Here come the Niners, in a battle with the Rams and the Seahawks for the [NFC West]. So, you’re going to get a San Francisco team [that is] focused,” he said. “A couple of weeks later: at Seattle, at the Rams, Jacksonville, Giants. This is where you’re going to really see the gap in coaching. Because as the season wears on, you lose players, you’re a little thinner, so the margins get even closer.”
It’s clear that Cowherd is not a fan of Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer–during this segment, he said the word schadenfreude has been changed to “Schotty-fraud.” In general, he thinks the Cowboys’ lack of a “buttoned-up” approach will cost them in the end.
“It’s almost like parenting. Your kids probably shouldn’t be your best friends,” he argued. “Sometimes, you have to make really hard decisions. Same with a coach. You’re not their buddy, you’re their boss. Sometimes, you have to cut them.”
