Dak Prescott Takes Responsibility for Cowboys’ Loss to 49ers

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott owned up to his two interceptions in Sunday night’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers, acknowledging that they were the deciding factor in the game.

“Not Turn the Ball Over”

When asked what he could have done better, Prescott was direct: “Not turn the ball over, period.”

He specifically addressed a leaping interception by San Francisco’s Ji’Ayir Brown, stating it should never have happened. Prescott admitted he should have thrown the ball away instead of trying to force it to receiver CeeDee Lamb.

“I don’t have to be perfect, but I damn sure can’t be having the turnovers,” Prescott said. “I’ve just got to eat that, take that sack. The second one was as boneheaded of an interception as I feel like I’ve had. Trying to make a play, too much confidence in myself right there. Should’ve just thrown it away. Wish I would’ve put more heat on it so it would’ve been to CeeDee or out of bounds. That one hurts, starting off the third quarter that way, allowed them to get a touchdown there, you look at the end at the score, a touchdown’s the difference. Once again, we put ourselves behind on the turnover battle, and that’s on me. We can’t have that if we’re playing to win games, and I’ve got to clean that up. Period.”

Turning Point

Prescott’s interceptions have become a recurring issue this season, with eight already through seven games. At this rate, he’s on pace to shatter his career-high of 13 interceptions set in 2021.

The Cowboys quarterback recognized the gravity of the situation, emphasizing the need to clean up his play if the team wants to achieve its goals.
