The Dallas Cowboys, led by quarterback Dak Prescott, initiated the game against the Miami Dolphins with an impressive and promising offensive drive. However, this momentum was abruptly halted by a fumbled handoff on the one-yard line. This denied the Cowboys a chance to put points on the board as they suffered a second defeat in a row. After the game, Prescott hurt by the defeat reflected on their narrow loss and called for improved standards.

This was a far better performance compared to their previous game against the Buffalo Bills. The game concluded with a 22-20 defeat for the Cowboys, sealed by a game-winning field goal from the Dolphins as time expired.

Dak Prescott laments “frustrating” loss as road woes continue for Cowboys

Dak Prescott showcased his quarterback prowess, completing 20 of 32 passes for 253 yards and delivering two touchdowns for the Cowboys. Despite already securing a playoff spot, Dallas slipped a half-game behind Philadelphia in the NFC East. Prescott’s precision came to the forefront when he connected with Brandin Cooks for an 8-yard touchdown pass. Thus, vaulting the Cowboys ahead 20-19. But the Cowboys were troubled by their red-zone struggles earlier in the game, including a fumble by Prescott on first-and-goal from inside the 1 on Dallas’ first possession.

So, after doing so much, it frustrated Prescott a bit, but he tried to look at a brighter side. He said, “This is one that’s on everybody and it sucks, but we definitely took a step over last week’s game in getting some points. We played a hell of a team here on the road, and we’ll have to build off of it. We’ll have to use the good and make sure we get better from the things that weren’t up to standard.”

Prescott added, “It’s frustrating that [we had a] dead spot in the middle of the game for the offense after the first two drives when we couldn’t get anything going again.”  But Prescott has shown optimism about his team and said, “It sucks. It hurts, especially in the manner in which we lost this one. But the confidence is high and we understand we can. Obviously, we haven’t done it but we will.” Additionally, he continued, “And it looks like we’ll be going on the road [in the playoffs]. We’ve got one more this regular season to dial it in, get a win, and carry it over.”

Moreover, in his further statements, it seems that the shot-caller wants to win their upcoming game. Even if it takes some extra hard work, the Cowboys are ready for it. But following a second successive defeat, which meant the Cowboys fell to 3-5 on the road this season, it seems the knives are already out for them with an NFL executive hinting at ‘implosion.’

NFL executive reportedly labels Cowboys “a front-running bunch”

Facing the upcoming challenge against the Detroit Lions, the Cowboys find themselves in a critical position after a two-game losing streak. This defeat adds weight to the narrative, suggesting that the Cowboys struggle against strong opponents on the road. According to The Athletic, one NFL executive who has worked in the NFC East said, “I think their identity is what it is. A front-running bunch, and when they start off hot, they ride it, and when they have to go blow for blow, I think there is … imploding there.”
