The Divisional round was not what the Dallas Cowboys expected it to be. They were eliminated by the San Francisco 49ers and Dak Prescott, the team’s quarterback, has blamed an specific player for their loss.
Unfortunately for the Cowboys, 2022 was not the year in which their Super Bowl drought could end. Despite having a great regular season, they coudln’t make it to the NFC Championship game after losing to the 49ers.
This game was a nightmare for Dallas. They had tons of problems stopping Brock Purdy and the 49ers, but also they weren’t productive enough to score more points than their rivals and get the victory.
Dak Prescott blames a specific Cowboys’ player for their loss to 49ers
The 2022 NFL season is over for the Cowboys. After a remarkable regular campaign, they couldn’t defeat the 49ers in the Divisional round and they had to return to Dallas sooner than expected.
After the game, Dak Prescott had a lot to think about. The quarterback analyzed the match and got real on who he thinks is the main responsible for their loss.
“Yeah, just disappointed,” Prescott said. “Guys that played their asses off. Defense, who gave us an opportunity to win this game, who played hard against a really, really good offense, a really good team. And for us to only put up the points that we did, that’s unacceptable, and it starts with me. I’ve got to be better. No other way to sugarcoat it.
The quarterback also talked about all his interceptions during the 2022 campaign and knows it is something he must change for the upcoming season for the Cowboys to finally succeed.
“Yeah, it’s very frustrating. Something I’ve got to get in the offseason,” he said. “Take a look at all of them. As I’ve said before, they all have their own story. But two tonight. Unacceptable. Can’t put the ball in jeopardy like that. Whether they’re tipped up in tight throws or I’m late on a stop route, just can’t happen. The number that it has gotten to is ridiculous. I can promise that the number will never be this again. I can promise that.”
