Dak Prescott suffers injury in Dallas’ 27-21 loss to Atlanta

So, after starting the game by deferring the toss, the Cowboys had the hope of getting the ball at halftime on their side. They only trailed by four and could have taken the lead with a big opening drive.

Instead, they had a false start on the first play out of the locker room, went three-and-out, and decided that was a great time for a fake punt that failed miserably.

That moment may become a key point in this season. It was a true low point for this organization.

What followed was an easy touchdown drive from the Falcons, and a real punt from Dallas after somehow having 12 men in the huddle on a critical 4th and 1 play. The mishaps and blunders were never-ending in this one.

The Cowboys did manage to get a stop and score following that, though it was only a field goal as Brandon Aubrey’s leg saved Dallas again.

That ended up being the last truly meaningful score of the game, as Tolberts final drive was more as a garbage-time statistical boost.

Of course, the biggest story here was not the game itself, but the injury to Prescott that I mentioned.

You can say whatever you want about the Cowboys quarterback, but as he goes, they go. If Prescott misses any time, you can essentially pack this season up and move on to 2025.

Atlanta took it to Dallas today; they were the cleaner team, especially in the second half, and they deserved the win.
