Former Cowboys QB Ben DiNucci Slams Dallas After 'Embarrassing' Loss to Cardinals: 'They Stink'

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Ben DiNucci didn't hold back after the team's 28-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, calling the performance 'embarrassing' and bluntly stating 'they stink.' DiNucci, a 2020 seventh-round draft pick who started one game for Dallas, criticized not just the result but the manner of the defeat, highlighting how the Cowboys crumbled against a Cardinals team that entered the game with a losing record. The loss drops Dallas to 3-5, further dimming their playoff hopes in a competitive NFC East. DiNucci's comments resonate with fans frustrated by the team's inconsistency, especially on offense where the Cowboys managed just one touchdown until late. With quarterback Dak Prescott sidelined, the offense has struggled to find rhythm, and the defense allowed Arizona to control the clock. The criticism from a former player underscores growing concerns about coaching and execution. As Dallas heads into a tough stretch of games, the pressure is mounting to turn the season around—or risk missing the postseason entirely.
