The Buffalo Bills hosted the Cowboys at Highmark Stadium and they made sure they knew who was the better team on this day.
Dallas Cowboys fans were left furious, not only because of the 31-10 beat down, but also for a play in the game that happened to Dak Prescott.
With 12:15 left in the second quarter, Prescott and the Cowboys faced second-and-9 from their own 26-yard line. Prescott dropped back but nobody could get open, so he scrambled for five yards.
He started to give himself up and slide, but Buffalo linebacker Tyrel Dodson hit Prescott in the head with what was obviously an illegal hit.
Dodson was slapped with an unnecessary roughness penalty for the play.
Cowboys fans were still upset because they wanted Dodson ejected for the hit.

Defenders aren’t supposed to hit a player after they slide and they certainly aren’t permitted to initiate helmet-to-helmet contact.
The Cowboys have not been able to figure it out as a franchise since last winning a Super Bowl in the 1995 season. The team has posted 13 winning seasons, eight NFC East crowns, and 12 postseason berths in total but they have only won five playoff games in that time and haven’t advanced past the divisional round.
The Cowboys look like a team that might tease again this season.
