Twice Intercepted Dak Prescott Had Just 2-Words as Cowboys Fail to Clinch Playoff Berth Against Jaguars

Tension grows amongst the Dallas Cowboys as they were at the receiving end of an overtime loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Their lead quarterback, Dak Prescott, is now feeling the pressure, as he is also on the road to having a career-high in interceptions. To express his disappointment, Prescott uttered two words to sum up his failure.
The Cowboys entered the season with the same expectation as they do every year, that is, to win their first Super Bowl since 1995. Dallas played decently throughout the season. Therefore, fans were expecting to see their favorite franchise advance in the playoffs.

The team needed only one victory to seal their spot in the playoff. However, they were unable to bring their magnetism against a sub -.500 team. Their sloppy win cost them their sweet chance of repeating as NFC East champions.
In the game, the 29-year-old QB threw two interceptions (his eight in his last six games) which ruined their lead of 27-10. Because of his high number of interceptions, the QB is getting under a lot of heat. “Frustration grows,” the Dallas Cowboys quarterback had said. The 2x Pro Bowler’s stats were amazing when he got his team to 21-7. He completed 15 of 16 passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns. He also added a strong 12-yard rush.
