It was another disappointing night for the Dallas Cowboys and their fans. After last week’s thrilling 40-39 win over the Atlanta Falcons, Dak Prescott and Co. slumped to their second defeat in the ongoing NFL season in Week Three. The Cowboys suffered a 38-31 loss at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks at the CenturyLink Field on Sunday.

Russell Wilson was ‘cookin’ once again as Pete Carroll’s side maintained their unbeaten start to the campaign. The game could have gone either way were it not for some defensive errors from the visiting team. In a bid to step up the ante and put pressure on the home side, Mike McCarthy’s boys adopted an aggressive approach to their defensive duties. However, DT Trysten Hill went a little overboard in the fourth quarter with a nasty ‘leg roll’ on RB Chris Carson.

Only time will tell if the league actually hands a suspension to Hill for that unnecessary tackle on Carson’s leg. Regardless of whether the suspension comes to pass, Hill is sure to be slapped with a hefty fine for the unsportsmanlike display at the CenturyLink Field.
