The Dallas Cowboys' loss to the Green Bay Packers was a devastating blow to their playoff hopes. The game was a nail-biter from start to finish, with both teams showcasing their offensive prowess. However, it was the Packers who emerged victorious in the end, leaving the Cowboys and their fans heartbroken.
From the beginning of the game, it was clear that both teams were evenly matched. The Cowboys' offense led by Dak Prescott showed great promise, but they struggled to convert crucial third downs. On the other hand, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' offense seemed unstoppable at times, making big plays when it mattered most.
What's next is much more difficult when we start talking about the Cowboys side of it. Dak Prescott was, frankly, bad in this football game. He had a hard time seeing the field. The game plan from the outset seemed bad. They couldn't find a way to get the running game going. And the play calling looked abysmal.
When you talk about that with the play calling, now you have to look at Mike McCarthy. The image of Jerry Jones turning around in the owner suite looking at someone went viral almost immediately. Because all eyes will be on Jones and what he thinks needs to happen next.
Dallas had lofty expectations heading into the postseason, having won the NFC East and earned the conference’s No. 2 seed. Despite a strong regular season, they fell short in the playoffs yet again, marking their 13th straight playoff appearance without reaching the conference championship.
Prescott failed to keep up with Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions as he led the NFL's youngest team to a Divisional Round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
Now, the Cowboys enter the offseason with a slew of questions after yet another disappointing playoff exit. Not only will the status of head coach Mike McCarthy be unclear, but also Prescott. Dallas owner Jerry Jones declined to comment on the future after Sunday's game, but he's clearly running out of patience
The crowd under the retractable roof on a frigid day in the Dallas area had already been stone-cold silenced when Prescott tried to throw a slant to top receiver CeeDee Lamb.
Savage, who went without an interception in the regular season for the first time in his five-year career, stepped in front and run untouched for a 27-0 lead with 1:50 left before halftime.
Prescott finished 41 of 60 for 403 yards, with all three of his touchdowns to tight end Jake Ferguson
