Another loss for the Dallas Cowboys this NFL season is creating more noise within a franchise struggling to find its direction. After a narrow defeat against the San Francisco 49ers, it was none other than star QB Dak Prescott who spoke to the press and made his feelings clear.

In a game that started off steep for Mike McCarthy‘s squad, they managed to rally not only their performance but also the score towards the end. However, it wasn’t enough to secure the win. This latest loss leaves the Cowboys with a disappointing record of 3 wins and 4 losses, falling short of expectations.

Once the game concluded with San Francisco ultimately taking the victory, it was the team’s star QB Dak Prescott who, in the post-game press conference, provided a brief overview of what he believes has been the season for Dallas.

The Cowboys‘ journey this season has been inconsistent and shaky. It started with a win against the Browns, followed by two straight losses. They turned the page with victories over the Giants and Steelers, only to suffer another two consecutive defeats. The primary goal now is to achieve stability and turn around this challenging situation as soon as possible.

The Texans, Commanders, and Giants, in that order, are upcoming opponents for Dak Prescott and company, who must start stringing together consecutive victories if they want to firmly position themselves among the teams with serious playoff aspirations.
