Dallas Cowboys Crush Patriots, 38-3, in Coach Bill Belichick's Worst Loss Ever

Dallas Cowboys Crush New England Patriots, 38-3, in Legendary Coach Bill Belichick's Worst Loss Ever

ARLINGTON - New England's legendary Bill Belichick is often a coach of few words. But on Sunday in NFL Week 4 here at AT&T Stadium in Arlington,  Belichick is left as a coach with few answers as the Dallas Cowboys handed him the most lopsided defeat of his career in a 38-3 decision.

The Cowboys jumped to 3-1 after doing most everything right, with fourth-stringers pitching in to score offensive touchdowns and a pick-6 on defense and another defensive touchdown on a sack-and-strip and a defensive lineman catching a 2-point conversation.

And of course, when "everything goes right for one team'' ... well, everything looks "worst-ever'' for the other, which is the case for Belichick's club as New England fell to 1-3.

Along the way, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was benched in the third quarter after throwing two interceptions - both to Dallas corner DaRon Bland - one of which was that aforementioned pick-6.

Bland scored on defense. Leighton Vander Esch did, too. And Chauncey Golston scored on offense/special teams - even though he's a defensive lineman.

Dallas QB Dak Prescott tossed an early TD pass to CeeDee Lamb, a conventional way for the Cowboys to bust out of their red-zone funk ... and then poured it on, eventually allowing fourth-string UDFA rookie Hunter Luepke to score his first career TD.

Is this a bad Bill Belichick team? That's for the Patriots to figure out ... though for the record, the previous scoreboard-bad Belichick team played in 2003 and lost 31-0 against the Bills.
