Cowboys tickets are still hot tickets, just not as hot as the first game. Still, an impressive crowd of  90,000, a $1 billion state-of-the-art stadium, and all the football world watching isn’t inspiration enough—at least not for a half. That was exactly the case for the Dallas Cowboys offense on Monday night who failed to score in the first half against the Carolina Panthers and had to rely on a defensive score in the second half to pull off the 21-7 victory.

Lethargic is too kind a description. Those who held Dallas Cowboys Stadium tickets had a few choice words of their own.
