LeSean McCoy expresses frustration with Dak Prescott

The Cowboys’ offense struggled to get going against the Niners at Levi’s Stadium. And former Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy put all the blame on the team’s QB Dak Prescott. McCoy was so frustrated with Prescott that he cussed out at him on national television.

“Dak is a**. Can I say it on TV that he is an a**,” the Super Bowl champion running back said.

McCoy is a two-time Super Bowl champion, winning back-to-back titles in the 2019 and 2020 seasons. So, he knows the pressure that the playoffs can bring. But he probably thought of Prescott as a better QB who wouldn’t give in to that pressure. And when that proved to be not true, McCoy just let his frustration out while millions watched sitting at home.
