Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed his concerns regarding the team's performance following a significant 34-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. During a post-game discussion, Jones noted the team's struggles both with and without starting quarterback Dak Prescott. He remarked, 'I don't want to be sarcastic, but have you got the same arithmetic I've got? We've won three games with Dak,' highlighting the urgency for improvement as the team has faced challenges in their offensive play even when Prescott was under center.

Dak Prescott did not participate in the game against the Eagles due to a potential season-ending surgery to repair a partially torn hamstring. Prescott is scheduled to travel to New York the following day for a consultation with a specialist, who will determine if surgery is necessary. If a procedure is required, he is expected to need approximately three months to recover. In Prescott's absence, Cooper Rush started the contest, completing 13 of 23 pass attempts for a mere 45 yards, before being replaced by backup Trey Lance in the fourth quarter. Lance managed to complete four of six pass attempts for 21 yards, but also threw an interception.

As a team, the Cowboys struggled to generate offense, accumulating only 146 total yards and committing five turnovers during the game. Prescott's absence clearly impacted Dallas' offensive capabilities, although it is worth noting that the team held a record of only 3-5 in his eight appearances this season. Prescott had thrown eight interceptions in those games, a stark contrast to his previous performance in the 2023 campaign, where he was intercepted just nine times in total over 17 games. Currently, the Cowboys find themselves in the midst of a four-game losing streak, with three of those losses occurring while Prescott played. Moving forward, Jones’ team will look to alleviate concerns and regain momentum in the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans.
