Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was depressed during the closing stages of his team’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and cameras caught him making an X-rated comment.
The Cowboys had high expectations entering the season, including a possible trip to the Super Bowl after finishing last year as the NFC’s No. 2 seed.
After Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Cowboys are 3-5 and Prescott himself left the game with a hamstring injury that has team owner Jerry Jones “concerned.”
As cameras focus on Prescott on the sideline without his helmet on, he leans toward a teammate and says, “We suck.”
That’s not the most inspiring message coming from the locker room leader midway through the regular season.
Dak Prescott was caught on camera making an X-rated three-word comment about his team.
Prescott’s disparaging comment came after he was injured against the Falcons on Sunday.
The Cowboys are currently 3.5 games behind their archrivals, the Washington Commanders, for the NFC East lead.
Things aren’t looking much better for Dallas either, as they likely won’t be the favorite in any of their next three games.
From now until the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day clash against the New York Giants, they will play the Eagles, Texans and Commanders, all of whom are currently in the projected playoff fields in their conferences.
Prescott will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of his injury, with possible time out of the Cowboys’ lineup an option.
Cooper Rush is Prescott’s backup and threw 13 completions on 25 attempts and a touchdown against Atlanta.
With Prescott’s long-term future in Dallas secured, things will have to change quickly for him to stay happy.
