David Carr is responsible for handing the Dallas Cowboys the most embarrassing loss in franchise history.
David Carr was the rookie starting quarterback for the Houston Texans expansion team in their inaugural season, 2002. The very first game in the Texan's franchise history was against the Cowboys.
This Texans team was 53 guys that never played together, had no identity, This was a team that started 5 rookies on offense.
Again, this was a team playing their very first NFL regular season game in their franchise's history.
They beat the Cowboys 19-10.
That was the Cowboys most embarrassing game.
Yesterday, we all suffered the Cowboys most embarrassing half. Derek Carr didn't even need a full game to humiliate the Cowboys at the level his brother did.
At least the Texans game was an away game. The expansion Texans were playing against an admittedly weak NFL team that, nonetheless, shouldn't have allowed an expansion team to defeat them.
This season's Cowboys team was supposed to be strong on defense, intimidating to the point that they could control games and even score. I don't recall a performance that poor in 1989 when they went 1-15.
I'm hoping that this game cured the entire team and it's owner of any sense of entitlement. There are 32 teams that want the same thing and only one of those teams are successful each year. The Saints acted as though they understand this perfectly. That's all that happened.
