The Dallas Cowboys, with a record of 10-3, faced not only a determined Buffalo Bills team striving to secure a playoff spot in challenging rainy and cold conditions on Sunday but also encountered challenges due to injuries and a widespread stomach bug.
The Cowboys played the game without two starters, nose tackle Johnathan Hankins (ankle) and free safety Malik Hooker (ankle). Additionally, the team had to manage the health of approximately 10 players and staff members dealing with the stomach bug, including cornerback Stephon Gilmore and receiver Brandin Cooks.
This illness has affected the Cowboys’ locker room since the Seattle game, initially involving quarterback Dak Prescott, and has also impacted Edge Rusher Micah Parsons, receiver Jalen Tolbert, and safety Donovan Wilson, all experiencing similar symptoms.
