The Dallas Cowboys didn’t play a game in Week 7, but as it came to a close, they found themselves on the losing side after a shot from someone close to them.

Troy Aikman was known for throwing touchdowns for the Cowboys throughout his career, but on Monday night he cast some shade. After comments about how current Cowboys wide receivers run bad routes, Aikman and his broadcast partner on ESPN Joe Buck had some fun at America’s Team’s expense.

In case you didn’t know, one of two matches took place on Monday night for Aikman and Buck. The Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Chargers danced in the desert, while Troy and Joe called the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Florida.

Late in the third quarter, Ravens running back Derrick Henry broke off a huge run. You can imagine what happened next.

When talking about Henry and how valuable he has been to the Ravens this season, Aikman made an indirect attack on the Cowboys for not pursuing him in free agency.

“There must be a lot of teams that had a chance to sign Derrick Henry but are kind of kicking themselves for not doing it. But he was absolutely a perfect fit for this Ravens offense.

The NBA returns this week, but the first alley-oop of the season is here, as Joe Buck made the point Troy was making.

“Can you think of any teams that are obvious? I’ll just throw this out there, the offseason home for Derrick Henry is in Dallas, Texas.

Derrick Henry was a free agent who anyone could have signed in the offseason or someone the Tennessee Titans could never have gotten to that point. Despite this, the Cowboys have become the poster child for every time he does something notable, as mentioned, and so far this season that has happened quite often.

The reason for this is that Jerry Jones has insisted that the Cowboys couldn’t afford him, which is contrary to what all the information on the internet suggests. That Henry has a house in Dallas, as Buck mentioned, and that he was single-handedly interested in playing for the Cowboys only adds to the hysteria of it all.

This storyline won’t go away as long as Derrick Henry plays well. Buckle up.
