Offense Hits a Lull
The Cowboys fell to the Packers 23-13 on Sunday and now stand at 2-4. A unit that returned all starters and carried high expectations has scored only 29 points over its past two games. The offense was held scoreless in the first half for the first time since 2021, and quarterback Dak Prescott threw two interceptions in the opening half for the first time since late 2022.
Passing and Rushing Numbers Tell the Story
Prescott completed 34 of 54 passes for 258 yards and averaged 4.8 yards per attempt while throwing two interceptions. It marked the first time he posted both a sub-5-yard average and multiple picks in the same game since 2018. The ground game managed just 48 yards on 15 carries, marking the fifth time in six contests the team has failed to reach 100 rushing yards. Prescott also faced pressure on 21 of 41 dropbacks.
Search for Solutions Continues
Coach Brian Schottenheimer pointed to the lack of a running game as the main reason the offense has become one-sided. He stressed the need for balance to move the ball consistently. The team has not reached the playoffs after a 2-4 start in the Super Bowl era, and players emphasized focusing inward to correct mistakes and escape the current stretch.
