Sunday began ugly for the Dallas Cowboys with the news that Tony Romo would not be playing, and only got worse with the actual start of the game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Dallas quarterback Brandon Weeden ran the offense with all the confidence and poise of your dad working a Madden controller. He didn't even complete a single pass to Dez Bryant until there were less than two minutes remaining in the game. Bryant got a garbage-time TD, but by then the game was long over. Weeden threw two interceptions, the second of which caused Bryant to erupt at his quarterback, as you can see above.
Bryant wasn't alone. Cornerback Orlando Scandrick also expressed plenty of frustration on the sideline:
Bryant erupted at Romo and other teammates a year ago almost to the day. He later claimed that he was simply trying to motivate his team. He didn't seem to have the same inspirational bent in mind when targeting Weeden.
The Cowboys have now lost their grip on the top of the NFC, and Weeden's performance lends some real doubt to Dallas' prospects going forward if Romo has any problems at all. Bryant may not be the only one losing his cool before this is all over.
