Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott offered a brutal assessment of his own performance in the team’s 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, which resulted in the team’s elimination from the playoffs.
Despite passing for more than 400 yards and putting together a valiant effort to try to keep the team in the game, Prescott knows he came up short.
I’m not a guy that lives in the past and so where my feet are and at this moment, yeah, I mean, I sucked tonight,” he told reporters, via ESPN.
“That was it. Got it going a little bit later, but none of that mattered at that point. Fought.
That’s all I really know how to do, but, yeah, I mean it’s about winning.
It’s about winning in the playoffs and then getting to the last game and winning that as well. And yeah, tough.”
The first half was key to the Packers’ win. Dallas’ first four drives went: punt, interception, punt and Pick Six before the team scored to end the half.
However, the damage was already done.
The Cowboys trailed 27-7.
Prescott had two more touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, but it was too little too late.
However, changes could be coming to Dallas – whether it is at the coaching position or elsewhere on the team.
For what it is worth, he backed coach Mike McCarthy and said if McCarthy was in the hot seat, then so should he.
