Dallas Cowboys fans watched their season end in disappointment as America’s Team struggled through an ugly 19-12 loss to the host San Francisco 49ers this past Sunday. A few did their best Raiders fans impression and took to the streets to vent their frustrations.
Dramatic video captured and posted to social media took the internet by storm as several melees broke out at the Cowboy’s AT&T Stadium watch party back in Texas.
Take a look as fans tumble and scrape in some wild fight scenes. Consider yourself warned, as the following videos exhibit explicit violence and graphic language.

Most fans are probably more outraged at the league, teams, and players going full woke, but apparently to a small minority a loss is good enough justification to pummel another human being.
And while most sports fans cannot relate to resorting to childish antics that often result in serious injury to participants, many more can at least relate to the franchise woes of the Cowboys. The team, the most dominant in the early and mid 1990s, has not returned to the NFC Championship game since 1995.
Fox News recapped the performance of some of the players in Sunday’s loss.
In Sunday’s game, Dak Prescott was 23-of-37 for 206 yards, a touchdown pass and two interceptions. Both interceptions came in the first half. Dallas managed two field goals in the second half.
CeeDee Lamb led the Cowboys with 10 catches for 117 yards. Prescott’s touchdown pass went to Dalton Schultz in the second quarter. The tight end finished with five catches for 27 yards.
It’s no doubt a difficult loss to stomach. On top of the mounting playoff struggles in the decades since Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, and Emmitt Smith suited up behind a fantastic offensive line, the fan base is left wondering how much longer the current competitive roster featuring the likes of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot have together.
Of course, the fights by a few unruly fans were largely overshadowed by the return of Damar Hamlin to the Buffalo Bills’ stadium for their match up with the Cincinnati Bengals in a rematch of the game that originally saw him injured and hospitalized.

Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin is at the Bills‘ Highmark Stadium to support his team ahead of their divisional playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals. It comes 20 days after Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field during a Monday night game between the Bills and Bengals.
The Bills tweeted a video of Hamlin arriving in a security vehicle, writing, “Welcome home [Hamlin].” Hamlin got out of the vehicle appearing to walk on his own without any assistance.

Hamlin was injured in an early-January game. After making what appeared to be a routine tackle, he briefly stood up before suddenly collapsing on the field. The game was postponed and eventually cancelled.
