Facing a must-win situation against the Kyler Murray-less Cardinals, Jerry Jones’ Cowboys put up a horrific first-half performance. They trailed 17-7 at halftime, with their only score coming on a blocked punt.

During the first half, ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Football’ cameras showed Stephen A. Smith sitting with Jones in the box suite:

After Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson lost a fumble that Arizona recovered, ESPN’s broadcast also cut to Stephen A. Smith delivering a short-and-sweet message to the frustrated Jones:

Social media lip readers think that Smith told Jones something along the lines of, “Aight, I’m out,” after the turnover:

Joe Buck: "They say a picture is worth one billion words. There it is… Stephen A. is like, 'Alright, good luck. I'm outta here. I'm gonna go post on social media.'" 🏈📺🎙️ #MNF #NFL https://t.co/KZpDrdXds7 pic.twitter.com/5uwk3VXQlm

We’re going to guess that multiple Cowboys fans had their “I’m heading out” moment by turning off the television. That was as bad a first-half performance as it gets for Dallas at home, after all.
