Dak Prescott Struggles in Cowboys' Loss to Lions

Dak Prescott struggled significantly in the Dallas Cowboys' 47-9 defeat against the Detroit Lions, completing 17 of 33 passes for 178 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Despite a decent start with a field goal on the opening drive, Prescott's performance deteriorated, leading to a total offensive output of just -1 yards during four consecutive possessions in the first half. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones emphasized the team's collective failure, notably highlighting the offense's lack of production despite a healthy lineup and high expectations placed on Prescott as the league's highest-paid player. Prescott acknowledged the need for self-reflection and improvement, stating, 'We need to look in the mirror and figure out how we can be better for this team.' With the Cowboys averaging only 21 points per game this season, the upcoming bye week is seen as a crucial opportunity for the team to regroup before facing the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8.
