The NFC East happens to be a highly competitive division, with Philadelphia Eagles leading the tally. After this loss, the Cowboys were placed in the third position, and moving ahead, it is necessary to win every game in order to keep their playoff aspirations alive.
During the Packers meetup, Prescott was able to keep momentum in the first half, but in the last quarter, everything turned around. Rodgers led an incredible 14 points rally, eventually tying up the points to 28. Not to mention, rookie wideout Christian Watson helped him in this procession.
Watson accounted for three touchdowns perfectly executed by the quarterback. Moreover, the Packers’ defense looked dangerous and caught two interceptions near the red zone from Dak Prescott. And that was the turning point of the game.
Michael Irvin was soon to point out the blunder. “NO INTERCEPTIONS IN THE RED ZONE IS HOW YOU WIN SUPER BOWLS!!” Irvin tweeted after the social media flooded with the Cowboys’ loss. Who else would be the right person to analyze the situation?
