Dak Prescott once again faced questions about the Cowboysā defensive performance throughout the 2025 season. Although itās the lowest-ranked unit in the NFL, the star quarterback reiterated that he trusts they can turn things around.
āI practice against them. Theyāre an NFL group. I practiced against them all offseason. I know the guys as people and not just players. How theyāre made up. I know theyāre as pissed as anybody is. I know their standards and, as a teammate, I got a lot of confidence that theyāll get it going.ā
Despite a rough 2-3-1 start, the Dallas Cowboys still have a good chance of winning the NFC East, considering that the Eagles have fallen to 4-2 after two consecutive losses. For this reason, the game against the Commanders could be decisive for their playoff aspirations.
Why is the Dallas Cowboys defense bad?
Dak Prescott didnāt want to go into details about why the Dallas Cowboysā defense has had a poor season. The quarterback avoided any controversy and simply said that they will show they can uphold their standards.
āI also have to go and look back at the Xs and Os of the other offenses. What theyāre giving them. How theyāre attacking that. In that standpoint, Iāve got a lot in my hands to worry about the offense. So, Iām just going to keep focusing on that, making sure that we donāt have a loss and we continue to get better. Hold ourselves to our standard and I know the defense is only going to improve.ā
