Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Backs Mike McCarthy: Not The Only Person To Be Blamed

Entering the fourth quarter behind 41-16, the Cowboys amassed 216 yards in garbage time, including 210 passing yards from Prescott and two throwing touchdowns.

“I sucked tonight. That was it,” Prescott said. “We got it going a little bit late, but none of that mattered at that point. Fought. That’s all I really know how to do. But it’s about winning, and it’s about winning in the playoffs and getting to the last game and winning that as well. Yeah, tough.”

The Cowboys lost 48-32 to the Packers, giving up the most points in the team’s postseason history. Owner Jerry Jones described the outcome as “stunning” many times during his ten-minute postgame media appearance.

Despite leading the Cowboys to a 12-5 record, coach Mike McCarthy is under intense scrutiny over the future of his position after the team was eliminated early from the playoffs.

However, Prescott intervened thereafter, telling reporters that he ought to be on the receiving end of things if McCarthy was.

Prescott remarked, “He’s been amazing.” “I don’t know how there can be [questions about his job], but I understand the business. In that case, it should be about me as well, honestly. That guy, I’ve had the season I’ve had because of him. This team has had the success they’ve had because of him. I understand it’s about winning the Super Bowl, and that’s the standard of the league and damn sure should be the standard of this place. I get it, but add me to the list in that case.”

McCarthy’s tenure is up in one year, but the humiliating defeat on Sunday may have been more memorable than his three straight 12-win regular seasons combined. Jones stated that he currently has no appointments with McCarthy.

Prescott’s status is uncertain beyond the next season.

His 2024 salary cap charge is $59.455 million, which means he will remain the quarterback for the Cowboys in 2024. But after that, what about his future? Would the Cowboys be prepared to pay him over $50 million each season in a long-term contract?

Prescott led the league in touchdowns and interceptions with 36, having a season akin to that of an MVP. But in his eight playoff games, he is just 2-5, with the best result being a trip to the divisional round.
