The Dallas Cowboys defense entered Sunday night allowing 41 total points through the first four weeks. Dan Quinn’s D gave up 42 in Sunday night’s blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n
“I’m bummed,” Quinn said, via the team’s official website. “You get your ass kicked, you only have a couple choices in the fight. You can pout about it or get back up and get rocking again. And I certainly know that’s what we’re gonna do.”<\/p>\n
In the first four weeks, the Cowboys’ defense allowed 10.3 points per game, 259.8 yards per game, 2.5 takeaways per game, and a 55.2 passer rating (all top-2 in the NFL). Sunday, Kyle Shanahan’s crew crushed them for 42 points, 421 yards, one giveaway, and a 143.8 passer rating.<\/p>\n
If Sunday’s matchup was a measuring-stick game for the Cowboys, they failed the test miserably.<\/p>\n
Luckily for Dallas, it’s one game out of 17.<\/p>\n
“There’s no finger pointing with our group,” Quinn said. “In fact, the fingers are being pointed in the direction that they need to — let’s work on this, let’s work on that. I admire that about our group. I’ve been on other teams where there was finger pointing and blame, but that’s not this group.<\/p>\n
“Extremely disappointed, but I also know what we’re made of, and we’re not gonna let this game beat us twice.”<\/p>\n
The Cowboys face the Los Angeles Chargers next Monday night and will try to wash the bitter taste out of the mouth against former Dallas offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got a very good Chargers team on the way, and we’ve got plenty of things to work out to get rocking again,” Quinn said. “So, yeah, we’re bummed. We wanted a really good kick-ass performance for our guys, but it didn’t go that way.”<\/p>\n
