“Sucks”: Dak Prescott Asserts Cowboys Won’t Settle For ‘Moral Victories’ After Dolphins Reach Playoffs

After their recent loss, the Dallas Cowboys experienced a new narrow defeat. They shamefully lost 22-20 to the Miami Dolphins. This game was marked by its close score, unlike their previous significant loss, which added to the team’s frustration for obvious reasons. A pivotal moment came early in the game when the Cowboys missed a scoring opportunity that could’ve potentially altered the game’s direction.

In the post-game press conference, quarterback Dak Prescott shared his reflections on the loss and the team’s overall performance. His comments provided insight into the Cowboys’ mindset after this challenging encounter.

Dak Prescott reflects on Cowboys’ loss

Dak Prescott reflected on the narrow loss to the Dolphins in a post-game media interaction. When he was asked about where the confidence that they had even after losing was coming from, Prescott added his comments without fear. While addressing the game’s crucial moments, he said, “This whole narrative changes off of unfortunately one play out there.”

He was referring to a missed field goal that could have altered the game’s discussion. Prescott highlighted the unpredictable nature of football, noting, “A lot of times, we flip the script off of one play in that sense.” Despite the defeat, he emphasized the team’s cohesion and commitment. He further added, “What we’re committed to is this brotherhood, holding each other accountable, and our goal.”

He firmly dismissed any notion of moral victories, asserting, “It sucks, we hate to lose, nobody’s taking any moral victories from this.” But he did not forget to acknowledge the need for improvement. He concluded by saying, “We’ve got to find a way to put in more points as an offense, and we will.” Not to mention, the Cowboys’ position might make the Eagles benefit from their season.

Eagles’ playoff hopes intertwined with rivals’ fates

The Philadelphia Eagles, despite their own three-game slide, are observing an interesting development with the Cowboys’ recent loss. The Cowboys’ defeat is particularly significant as the Cowboys had lost to another team the Eagles had beaten earlier.

For the Eagles, the Cowboys’ loss does not immediately ease their path to the NFC East title. This is because their chances still depend on winning out and the Cowboys potentially dropping games. The upcoming Week 17 presents a curious scenario. The Cowboys will face the Detroit Lions, and a Dallas win would ironically benefit the Eagles in their quest for the No. 2 seed.

Alternatively, a Cowboys defeat, coupled with Eagles victories over their opponents, would enable Philadelphia to clinch the NFC East. Now, time will tell who gets the playoff spot. What do you think? Let us know below.
