The internet lip readers are going to have a field day with this one.
With the Cowboys’ season continuing to spiral, quarterback Dak Prescott appeared to offer an expletive-filled assessment of the current state of America’s Team during Sunday’s 27-21 defeat to the Falcons.
“We f–king suck,” Prescott seemingly mouthed on the broadcast to backup QB Trey Lance with less than four minutes to go in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys’ third straight loss.
It was a rough day for the Cowboys all around.
Dallas’ $240 million quarterback — who signed a four-year extension before the team’s Week 1 win against the Browns — exited early due to a hamstring injury and ended the day with 133 passing yards and a touchdown. He is expected to get an MRI exam on Monday.
Elsewhere on the Cowboys’ sideline, head coach Mike McCarthy was seen smashing a tablet on the broadcast as frustrations boiled over.
Calls for McCarthy’s job will likely intensify as the Cowboys dropped to 3-5 on the season, well behind the NFC East’s division leaders, the 7-2 Commanders.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones gave McCarthy a vote of confidence after the Week 9 loss.
“I know how hard he works. I like his football mind. I know how good he works. He’s got, in my mind, an outstanding coaching record. He’s really good with the players. They think highly of him. But he’s got a lot of fire in his belly. And so I’m just giving you this: I like the positives I see,” Jones said.
Dallas is 31st in red zone offense and 32nd in red zone defense — not exactly a winning formula.
With critical divisional matchups on deck — the Eagles (Nov. 10), the Commanders (Nov. 24) and the Giants (Nov. 28) — the Cowboys will have to do some serious soul-searching if they hope to overcome this ugly three-game skid.
That first chance will come Sunday, when the team hosts the Eagles at 4:25 p.m.
