Cowboys’ Dak Prescott refuses to make 49ers game about personal revenge

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is set to face the San Francisco 49ers again on Sunday, Nov. 15, but he has made it clear that revenge is not the driving force behind his performance. The contest comes after the 49ers successfully ousted the Cowboys from the playoffs in both 2021 and 2022. Prescott revealed that while he aims to defeat the 49ers comprehensively, he does not want the outcome to become a symbol of personal vendetta.

The Cowboys will be entering the game with a 4-5 season record, trailing the 49ers by two wins. The 49ers, however, boast a stellar 7-1 record heading into the matchup. Prescott emphasized that the game is about gaining momentum for the team, rather than focusing on past defeats. "This is about us going in and getting a win and us trying to win this game and get some momentum going," he stated.

Prescott highlighted the significance of securing two consecutive wins for the first time this season, which would be a major breakthrough for the Cowboys. The quarterback has been impressive, completing 218 of 336 passes for 2,381 yards, 16 touchdowns, and only five interceptions in nine games. His recent form, with six touchdowns and no interceptions in his last three starts, bodes well for the team.

However, Dallas must address its defensive shortcomings against the formidable San Francisco offense, which has allowed 26.2 points per game this season. Prescott recognizes the challenge but urges his teammates to concentrate on the opportunity before them. "What a great opportunity to do it against a 7-1 team," he said. "It just so happens that it’d be the Niners.

So yeah, obviously I want to get a win and everybody and anybody in this building does for sure a bunch of different reasons. But at the end of the day, it’s a 7-1 team coming in here and we’ve got an opportunity to beat them."
