There was a lot of finger-pointing after Monday's Dallas Cowboys loss to Arizona Cardinals. The team was decimated 38-10 at AT&T Stadium. Fans in attendance were audibly booing for the home team.

After the game, analysts and armchair quarterbacks blamed everyone from veteran quarterback Andy Dalton (who was filling in for an injured Dak Prescott) to the inept offensive linemen (with nearly all the starters on the IR list) to head coach Mike McCarthy (who is reportedly not communicating well with the team in his first year in Dallas) to Pro-Bowl running back Zeke Elliott (for multiple fumbles).

In his post-game press conference, Zeke said, "I think it was me", when asked why the team performed so poorly. Elliott continued, "I got us started off to a terrible start ... I killed our momentum, two fumbles, uh, I can't do that. I can't."
