Dak Prescott delivered a blunt assessment after the Dallas Cowboys’ 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, acknowledging that his team was thoroughly outplayed. Prescott’s candid remark captured the frustration felt throughout the locker room and among fans after a disappointing home defeat.
The Cardinals controlled the game for much of the night, with Jacoby Brissett efficiently moving Arizona’s offense and the Cardinals piling up yards without turning the ball over. Dallas’ defense struggled to contain runs and explosive plays, allowing Arizona to dictate tempo and field position through three quarters.

On offense, Dallas was inconsistent, sputtering in key moments and failing to capitalize in the red zone. Turnovers and negative plays, including fumbles and sacks, undermined drives that might have changed the momentum, leaving the offense unable to build sustained scoring sequences.
Special teams produced a mixed bag, with a blocked punt returned for a Dallas touchdown offering a rare bright spot amid mounting problems. Ultimately, however, mistakes and missed opportunities on both sides of the ball kept Dallas from mounting a true comeback during regulation.
