In the third quarter, Detroit extended its lead to 34-6 and many Dallas fans were frustrated with the team not showing up. The Lions are proving in this game they are one of the best teams in the NFL and the Cowboys might be an average to a below-average team.

Cowboys fans are upset with the way Mike McCarthy has been this season coaching the team. They have not looked good at all when they are the home team. Here is what the Cowboys fans said on Twitter during the game about McCarthy:

There are a lot of upset fans about McCarthy and they have a right to be upset with him for them not showing up so far. The anger should be pointed toward owner Jerry Jones.

The Cowboys will be on a bye next week. After the bye week, they will be on the road against the San Francisco 49ers. San Francisco is a team that Dallas has struggled with over the past several meetings.

The Cowboys are going to be in the headlines big time during the bye week. The Detroit Lions remembered what happened to them in Dallas, Texas last season and Dan Campell had his team ready to play.
