Dak Reveals Blowout Loss to 49ers shifted Cowboys’ identity
Dak stated on NBC Sports Bay Area that the Cowboys’ identity was changed by their blowout loss to the 49ers.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott used his club’s 42-10 thrashing at the hands of the 49ers in Week 5 as a rallying cry. Going into the game, Prescott and the squad expected to extract retribution for San Francisco’s two-year elimination from the playoffs.
Dallas’ third straight loss to San Francisco shocked Prescott and the Cowboys, according to NBC Sports’ Peter King in his weekly column Football Morning In America.
The humiliation on a national scale acted as a crucial wake-up call for a team that has since surged into the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
Prescott told King, “I thought going into that game that I was going to have a huge game.”
“They defeated us in the previous two close playoff games, and I genuinely believed we would humiliate them this time around.
The exact opposite took place. Honestly, the thing that disturbed me the most was our team’s lack of fight. Mike [McCarthy] and I discussed it. More than anything, it irritated us.
I told you after that game that it wouldn’t look like this if we lost another one. We won’t put up with bullying or being picked apart by a squad, I swear to you.”
After suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of the 49ers in Week 5, Dallas has won seven of their previous eight games, including six straight by double figures. Since being shut down in Santa Clara, the Cowboys’ explosive offence has
picked up a new level. Since the 49ers’ formidable defence held them to only 10 points in Week 5, they have averaged 35.8 points per game. After being completely destroyed by San Francisco, Prescott said, the team’s attitude changed.
Dallas now leads the NFC East after defeating the Philadelphia Eagles on “Sunday Night Football.”
Every game since the 49ers game, we’ve played with a different attitude and way of thinking.
We argue,” remarked Prescott.
Immediately following the Week 5 loss to the 49ers, Cowboys star edge rusher Micah Parsons confidently voiced that
Dallas was still in the same tier as San Francisco despite the game’s lopsided score.
After the game, standout pass rusher Micah Parsons told reporters in the locker room, “I don’t think they’re really a higher level than us.” “I think our playoff team is of the same calibre. the same ability and expectations as them.
Simply said, I think it’s time for us to get together, review certain things, and make some serious corrections.
As of right now, the 49ers (10-3) and Cowboys (10-3) are the top two seeds in the NFC playoff scenario.
Based on past performance, you can anticipate a thrilling matchup between these two teams in January.
Prescott and the Cowboys are hoping that their newfound confidence will lead to a win over the 49ers, who have simply outplayed them the past three seasons.
