America's Team, ass! On the first weekend of the NFL playoffs, the Dallas Cowboys played an absolutely terrible first half against the Green Bay Packers, losing 27-0 at one point.
This massacre was so unrelenting that even Cowboys owner Jerry Jones probably wouldn't feel the utter shame that the rest of Cowboys country is no doubt feeling right now. I had to take my eyes off the field to do that.
After Packers QB Jordan Love threw a spectacular touchdown pass to receiver Dontaevion Wicks to put the Pack up 20-0, Jones literally turned his back on his team.

Haha, I love it! Jerry, protect your eyes! Protect your precious eyes!
It's sweet enough that the Cowboys are embarrassed by Jerry World, but the fact that they were a 7-point favorite and now they're shellacked is just *chef's kiss*. (Related: NFL stars' offseason routines are the most American things I've ever heard)
The Boys finally scored at the end of the half, nailing a touchdown pass to tight end Jake Ferguson as time expired. However, this score only brought them within 20 points of Green Bay, which is still a big number to overcome.
Strange things have happened (cough, Atlanta, cough), but this will be one of the most unlikely comebacks of all time.
If I were Jerry, I'd get out of there to avoid embarrassment and avoid traffic. Time to work on your golf game, Jah Bear!
