Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is in for plenty of criticism this week following yet another loss on the back of his mega-deal with the team.
America’s Team suffered a loss at the hands of NFC rivals San Francisco on Sunday night, though they put themselves in a position to fight back from a 17-point deficit at the end and got the ball back with 3:05 left in the game while down by a single score.
That drive turned out to be a disaster, with Prescott nearly throwing an interception on first down. He was forced to throw the ball away on second down as 49ers defensive lineman Maliek Collins barged at him.
The Cowboys failed to move the chains on the play, let alone score.
NBC’s Cris Collinsworth was pretty critical of Dak thereafter, claiming the quarterback isn’t the player he used to be.
“I’ll tell you, Dak just doesn’t move like he used to. He really doesn’t,” Colinsworth told partner Mike Tirico. “There have been times we’ve seen him, pre-injury, that he was able to take that ball and make some runs out of it.
“That’s not really a factor in his game anymore.”
Dak Prescott Isn’t Quite Himself This Season
Collinsworth does make a good point. Dak had some injury problems during the offseason and was seen in a walking boot at times.
The Cowboys signal-caller averaged 3.6 rush attempts for 16.3 yards per game over the first eight years of his career, but he hasn’t scrambled more than twice a game this season and hasn’t gotten past 12 yards.
There was genuine optimism nearing the end of the fourth quarter of last night’s game, given that the Cowboys had managed to cut the lead down to six and got the ball back with plenty of time left on the clock.
Unfortunately, they wouldn’t get another opportunity as the defense did not leave the field after the failed drive.
