The Dallas Cowboys must be breathing a sigh of relief now that their tumultuous season has come to an end. However, their final game was not without its fair share of embarrassment, as their kicker managed to kick a ball that struck one of their cheerleaders in the head.
During a second-quarter kickoff, Brandon Aubrey, typically a reliable kicker for the Cowboys, booted the ball out of bounds, resulting in a penalty. But the situation took a turn for the worse when the ball struck the back of a cheerleader’s head, causing her to fall to the ground. Concerned individuals rushed to her aid to ensure she was okay.
Replays of the incident showed that a cameraman on the sideline may have inadvertently redirected the ball towards the cheerleader. Fortunately, she appeared to recover quickly from the impact, smiling, laughing, and waving off assistance from those around her.
This unfortunate event serves as just another blunder in a season filled with disappointments for the Cowboys. The team finished with a record of 7-10 after losing their final game 23-19 to the Washington Commanders.
Despite the setbacks, the cheerleader seemed to be in good spirits following the incident. As the Cowboys miss out on the playoffs for the first time since the 2020-2021 season, it’s clear that the team has some work to do in the offseason to regroup and come back stronger.
Regardless of the outcome, the season is now behind them, and the focus shifts to the future. The cheerleader may have a sore head tomorrow, but she can take solace in the fact that this challenging season is finally in the rearview mirror.
