Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens could not get off the field fast enough after his team blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter to lose to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
The Cowboys grabbed hold of a 24-10 lead on the second play of the fourth quarter before being outscored 20-6 over the remaining 14 minutes and change inside Jerry’s World. The Cardinals officially pulled off the stunning comeback with a 42-yard field goal with just under three minutes remaining in overtime to steal a 33-30 win.
With the loss, Dallas fell to 3-5 on the year, with three of its five losses coming at home, and Pickens made it abundantly clear that he has had enough of the losing.
In a video that has made the rounds on social media, Pickens was seen quickly running to the Cowboys’ locker room just after the Cardinals ended the game. Dallas players run through a sea of fans inside a luxury area at AT&T Stadium to get back to the team locker room, and Pickens made his way through the walkway just seconds after the football made it through the uprights.
Even when you consider that there is likely a slight delay between play on the field and what is shown on the screens inside the stadium, Pickens got off the field in a hurry.

While Pickens was undoubtedly upset about losing, he couldn’t have been too happy about his final stat line from the contest either.
Pickens hauled in just two catches for 48 yards against Arizona, and his four total targets were the second fewest he’s gotten all season. For comparison, CeeDee Lamb was targeted 11 times by quarterback Dak Prescott during the contest.
The sky may seem like it’s falling in Dallas, which is a feeling Cowboys fans are used to at this point, but with the franchise being a part of the NFC East, all hope is, miraculously, not lost just yet.

While Dallas would much rather be 4-4 on the year as opposed to 3-5, the Cowboys are still very much alive to win the division. The New York Giants lead the way at the moment with an overall record of 4-2-1.
The Cowboys will take on the 2-6 Indianapolis Colts in Week 9 in what is an absolute must-win game if they want to keep pace in their mediocre division.
