Dak Prescott faced the media with unvarnished honesty following the Cowboys’ crushing 44-19 loss to the Saints on Sunday. The quarterback quickly acknowledged the offensive struggles but expressed unwavering confidence in the team’s ability to bounce back before their encounter with the Ravens.
The game highlighted a noticeable connection between Prescott and standout wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Early on, the duo combined for a 65-yard touchdown during the third offensive series, showcasing their potential for explosive plays.
However, this promising start quickly faded as Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara took control of the Saints, leading to a breakdown for the Cowboys.
Prescott reflected on the critical “miscommunication” with Lamb during the first half, which resulted in an incomplete pass. He was candid about the misstep, stating,
“Just miscommunication. Yeah, a play that just complete miscommunication. Nothing more than that. We’ll get it fixed, we’ll get it cleaned up and make that.”
This miscommunication raises alarms, particularly considering the significant investment the Cowboys have made in both Prescott and Lamb during the offseason. Their partnership is essential for the team’s success, emphasizing the need to resolve these issues quickly.
Despite the defeat, their earlier touchdown serves as a reminder of their potential to be impactful players within the Cowboys’ offense.
Meanwhile, Prescott, reflecting on the team’s 1-1 record and anticipating the clash with the Ravens, admitted, “We are not going undefeated as we haven’t done so in 50 years.” He acknowledged the Ravens as the “best team on the field” and underscored the Cowboys’ determination to “find a way” to recover next week.
Ultimately, the key takeaway for the Cowboys is the necessity of fostering a solid connection between Prescott and Lamb. Eliminating miscommunication and ensuring clear play execution will be critical for their offense to succeed against tough opponents.
