The Dallas Cowboys, featuring tight end Jake Ferguson, did not have the best start to their 2025 NFL campaign. On Thursday, Sept. 4, in Week 1 of this year’s season, Ferguson and the rest of coach Brian Schottenheimer’s Cowboys were defeated by the defending champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, 24-20, in away territory.
Even after such a defeat, the Cowboys’ social media team posted a video on Instagram on Monday, Sept. 8, wherein Ferguson was being interviewed alongside his fiancée, former Miami Hurricanes guard Haley Cavinder and her twin sister Hanna. In the reel, Ferguson and Hanna were asked questions about Haley to determine who knew her better.
“Who knows @haleycavinder better? 🤔 we put @jakeferg84 and @hanna.cavinder up to the test with the newlywed game,” @dallascowboys on Instagram captioned.

Fans online ripped the Cowboys’ social media team, Ferguson, and the Cavinder twins for coming up with such a video right after the season-opening loss.
“Carson BECK SAID HE WAS GOOD ON ALL THIS. MIAMI GIRLS DIFFERENT,” one user exclaimed mentioning Miami Hurricanes quarterback and Hanna Cavinder’s ex-boyfriend Carson Beck.
“Instead of posting this, we should win a game,” another user posted with an emoji.
“Focus more on catching and less caking for the internet,” another fan wrote.
“Maybe after a win, this wouldn’t be scrutinized. But after a loss, we need to be serious and lock in,” a user pointed out.
Other users in the comments section of the post defended the pair, but were overwhelmed by the amount of backlash.
“Y’all are hating entirely too hard in these comments DAMN,” one fan asserted with a crying emoji.
“I love this. So cute!,” another fan shared.
“Team Fergy,” a fan said.
The Cowboys will seek their first win of the new NFL season in Week 2. They’ll face the New York Giants, who are also coming off a big loss, for their first home game of the campaign at AT&T Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 14.
