The Dallas Cowboys are facing unexpected challenges this season, sitting at 3-4 after a 30-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. This record places them near the bottom of the NFC, far from their Super Bowl aspirations. Coach Mike McCarthy expressed disappointment, highlighting that while the team had a productive week of preparation, significant work remains to be done.
Historically, the Cowboys last had a 3-4 record with a healthy Dak Prescott in 2018. In 2020, they began the season 2-5 before Prescott suffered a serious ankle injury. The 2018 team rebounded from a similar position after acquiring Amari Cooper midseason, ultimately finishing 10-6 and winning the NFC East. However, only five players from that successful roster were active during the recent game against the 49ers.
Looking ahead, the Cowboys will face the Atlanta Falcons, who currently lead the NFC South. Prescott remains optimistic about turning the season around, stating that a team just needs to “get hot” to gain momentum. He emphasized that the team is not giving up and is focused on securing a win in their upcoming road game.
Despite the optimism, frustration is mounting within the team. The Cowboys have lost four consecutive games to the 49ers, including three at Levi's Stadium. This ongoing struggle has left players feeling disheartened, with cornerback Trevon Diggs even confronting a reporter over a tweet questioning his effort.
In the recent game, the Cowboys faced a significant setback when they fell behind 27-10 after a disastrous third quarter. Although they had a chance for a comeback, Prescott's four consecutive incompletions in the final moments thwarted their efforts. He managed to throw two touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb in the fourth quarter, but also recorded two interceptions, marking a troubling trend for the quarterback.
Postgame, Prescott voiced his frustrations, acknowledging his struggles and the team's current position. Despite the disappointment of being 3-4, he reassured fans that the team remains committed and determined, emphasizing the long season ahead and the importance of focusing on upcoming division games.
