The Dallas Cowboys are a different team compared to when they lost to the Arizona Cardinals on their home turf. Since then, they've shown out with dramatic wins against the two Super Bowl teams from last season, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, fair and square.
However, fair and square was the exact opposite sentiment from ESPN's Dan Orlovsky during the Chiefs-Cowboys game. The Chiefs were penalized 10 times for 119 yards. Not the formula for winning a game, but Orlovsky still felt the need to take a jab at the officiating for favoring Dallas.
Most of those yards came from contact by the Chiefs' secondary, but those penalties were cut-and-dry. These were easy calls for the officials to make.
ESPN's Dan Orlovsky thinks the refs helped Cowboys beat the Chiefs
There are two reasons why Cowboys fans will be laughing at this. For one, there was nothing egregious about the calls. Everything that was called on the field wasn't controversial at all.
Second, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens tormented the Chiefs' cornerbacks all game long. Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson got burned consistently.
It's not the officials' fault that the secondary for Kansas City was getting torched, and there wasn't even much pushback from the players, or even Andy Reid. It didn't matter to Orlovsky, though. He continued to post on social media about how awful the officiating was. As expected, Cowboys fans tormented him in the comments section.
Cowboys fans might also argue that they didn't get calls either. On a touchdown late in the fourth quarter from Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown, the refs missed a blatant hold by Wanya Morris, as he was clearly grabbing onto Donovan Ezeiruaku. No call was made, and the touchdown counted.
Fans mentioned the blatant no-call in the comments section, and as expected, Orlovsky was silent about that while only being critical of a so-called one-sided affair.
Cowboys fans have the last laugh, though. Since the trade deadline, the Cowboys are playing their best football of the season at the perfect time, and they've almost completed the gauntlet of tough teams they have to face late this season.
