Yes, Dak Prescott and Cowboys deserve heat for not scoring a TD late. But Dallas' defense couldn't hold it down for 7 seconds?
Dallas' season isn't over after falling to Baltimore in Rio. But the Cowboys lost the benefit of the doubt, the faith of any remotely impartial observer and any expectation that this defense is going to get it together soon.
The Dallas Cowboys' season did not end with their loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but their reputation and the faith of impartial observers suffered greatly. The defense failed to perform, particularly in the final moments of the game when the Ravens scored a 56-yard field goal to win 34-31. This defensive failure came after the Cowboys squandered opportunities to put the game away in the fourth quarter.
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens' offense displayed resilience, while Dallas' defense struggled to coalesce. Quarterback Dak Prescott, who has thrown for 250 touchdowns and rushed for 30 more, expressed embarrassment over the team's inability to capitalize on a critical final drive. The Cowboys still have a favorable three-game stretch ahead, but their defense must improve if they hope to avoid another disappointing season.
