Dak Prescott ‘Can Get Us To The Super Bowl’
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has come out in defense of quarterback Dak Prescott following the 42-10 loss to the 49ers. That in itself shows you what the mood is like around Dallas.
The sobering defeat to San Francisco was the biggest in Dallas’ history since 2013. Dak Prescott was 14-of-25 passing for 153 yards and one touchdown. He was intercepted three times, a season high.
The Cowboys defense also allowed season highs in points (42) and yards (421). Jerry Jones says he’s not panicking, but admits the team needs to close the gap on its rival.

“Dak Prescott is a quarterback that can get us to the Super Bowl,” Jones said.Â
“That’s the way that’s gonna be. We have other quarterbacks on that roster, and players that certainly (are capable) if something should happen to Dak. But I want to be real clear: Dak is very capable of taking this team where we want it to go.
“I’m not panicked, but the gap is — when something tells you what it is, don’t try to dream that it’s something else,” Jones said.Â
“What I’m trying to say is we can do better than what we did out there Sunday night. That’s a given, we can do better, we have the potential to do better. We have the preparation to do better, we didn’t do it at all, to be trite about it, Sunday night.â€

“Do we have the quarterback? Let me be very affirmative, I completely believe that we have the quarterback that can take us where we want to go. Do we have the coaching staff on both sides of the ball, we certainly do. Did Sunday reflect that? No.”
