For the second time in their last three games, the Dallas Cowboys are on the short end of the win-loss stick.
It took a lot for the Cowboys to lose at Arrowhead Stadium, and little of it lies in the lap of a defense that held Mahomes to no touchdowns and the Chiefs to only three points in the second half.
Prescott threw two interceptions — one negating a sack fumble by Parsons late in the second quarter — and also fumbled at the hands of Frank Clark.
In all, it was as duplicitous an outing as the Cowboys have seen this year, and while the usual culprit is the defense, this time it was the offense, while the defense desperately attempted to save the day.
“It’s a short week and we’ve got to put it past us,” said Prescott.
“It sucks but I can tell you we’re a confident group,” said the two-time Pro Bowler.
“I’ve got a lot of confidence in this group.
We’ve got to turn the page and we would’ve done this win or lose.
Currently sitting at 7-3 on the season and thanks to the Minnesota Vikings defeating the Green Bay Packers in Week 11, the Cowboys remain in striking distance of the top seed in the NFC, but they’ll have to get back to stringing together wins to avoid losing ground to the Arizona Cardinals atop the conference.
They’ll likely be without both Cooper and CeeDee Lamb — who suffered a concussion on Sunday — when the Raiders arrive, adding that much more adversity for an offense coming off of a forgettable outing.
“As long as I’m a part of this team, quarterbacking this offense, that’s the least of my worries is how we’re going to respond.
