Dak Prescott calls Dallas Cowboys’ defeat to San Francisco 49ers his ‘most humbling loss’
Dak Prescott threw three straight interceptions in the second half as the Dallas Cowboys suffered a 42-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night; the quarterback was 14-of-24 for 153 yards and a 51.6 grade
The Cowboys quarterback, who had thrown just one interception entering the game, threw three consecutive second-half touchdowns. He was 14-of-24 passing for 153 yards and a miserable 51.6.
Dallas’ offense mustered just 197 yards and got a first down on just its fifth drive, and nine of Prescott’s 11 possessions lasted three plays or less. andquot;I didn’t see that coming,andquot; Prescott said after the loss, which drops the Cowboys to 3-2 on the season. andquot;Put everything into it and got punched in the mouth. andquot;I played [the loss] a few weeks ago against Arizona in a humbling way.
But this might be the most humiliating game I’ve ever been a part of. andquot;I felt good about the preparation, I felt good about everything, you honestly came into this game and they beat us in every aspect.andquot; The 32-point loss was to the Cowboysand#039; worst team against the 49ers and#039; a hallowed rivalry that San Francisco now leads 20-19-1. It was also the biggest sack of Prescott’s career when he lost 39-9 to the Philadelphia Eagles in his second season in 2017.
Obviously they are and#039;before us now,andquot; Prescott added the 49ers. andquot;Weand#039;must achieve and do. To get where we want to go, we know we have to go through that team and probably get back to that place and quot
McCarthy labels heavy defeat as ‘punch in the gut’
The loss was also the second worst of Mike McCarthyand#039’s head coaching career, going just 35-0 against the New England Patriots in 2006. andquot;It’s a kick in the gut, it’s a kick in the ass, whatever phrase you want to put on it,andquot; McCarthy said. andquot;Weand#039;are knocked down.
They beat us in all three stages andquot;We clearly acknowledge that. There was never a tape burner. guy… We go through that, make sure we know exactly what the expectations are, and make sure we’re giving the players what they need to be successful. andquot;They stepped up as a team. I didn’t see that coming.
It clearly shows just where we are.andquot; When asked to evaluate Prescottand#039’s performance, McCarthy explained that the issues that need to be addressed are team-wide. For example, a defense that allowed a league-low 10.3 points per game through the first four weeks and allowed just two passing touchdowns gave up 42 to the 49ers and four to quarterback Brock Purdy.
The Dallas D also had 14 sacks in the first four games, but only got to Purdy once. andquot;I don’t think there will be many winning points from this show,andquot; McCarthy said.
andquot;I think the most important thing for all of us, and I say this responsibly. andquot;It’s completely humiliating, stating the obvious, but this is one game. andquot;Take responsibility for what you did and how you played.
Weand#039;ve got to clean our own house.andquot; The 49ers next face the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, while the Dallas Cowboys are also on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. Live on Sky Sports NFL on Tuesday 17 October at 1.15. played very well and so did we. andquot; i was thinking
