Cowboys vs. Saints recap: Social media reaction to disheartening loss, 44-19

There were high hopes and expectations this week from Dallas Cowboys fans after the win last week against the Cleveland Browns. The Cowboys made AT&T Stadium a fortress last year and looked to continue that trend in the season home opener. But the New Orleans Saints had other plans.

Things got off to a bad start when the Saints marched right down the field for a touchdown on the first series, but the Cowboys managed a field goal to get their scoring going.

The defense was non-existent from the outset. They gave the Saints offense a lot of room to work and the defensive woes all started up front.

The defensive effort began get worse.

A huge Dak Prescott connection with CeeDee Lamb for a 65-yard touchdown stirred up hope.

But the Saints came right back.

Then Jalen Brooks really caused some problems as he stumbled and gave up an interception.

It was a monumentality terrible half.

Then the second half happened.

Donovan Wilson tried to create a spark.

Only for it to be extinguished moments later.

It was just a relief for it to all be over.
