Cowboys appear to have a glaring flaw that's been exploited in two straight games: 'We saw a weakness'

The Dallas Cowboys are facing a critical issue on special teams that has cost them dearly in two consecutive games. In Week 3, the Baltimore Ravens blocked a 59-yard field goal attempt by kicker Brandon Aubrey, a pivotal moment that contributed to a 34-31 loss in Brazil.

The Texans repeated the exploit the following week, blocking another Aubrey kick in a 34-30 victory for Dallas, though the Cowboys managed to claw back with late-game heroics from quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. With only six blocked field goals recorded league-wide through four weeks, the Cowboys’ repeated struggles stand out as an outlier.

Team owner Jerry Jones has pinpointed the problem to insufficient protection rather than Aubrey’s kicking technique, emphasizing the need for immediate corrective action. Houston coach DeMeco Ryans revealed during film study that opponents have identified and capitalized on this weakness, leaving Dallas with little time to address it before their next matchup.
