Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys offense nibbled their food in Week 1. Sunday, in the home opener against New Orleans, the quarterback plans to scarf down bigger hunks.
In the 33-17 blowout win over Cleveland, the Cowboys offense put up just 265 total yards, going 4 of 14 on third downs, and entered the red zone just once on 12 non-end-of-half possessions. Prescott and the offense repeatedly stalled out, leading to four Brandon Aubrey field goals.
On Thursday, Prescott said he expects better execution in Week 2.
“Usually, teams make that jump from Week 1 to Week 2,” Prescott said, via the team’s official website. “And just understanding we left a lot of meat on the bone [in Cleveland]. When you look at the game, as we’ve said around here, it was a tale of two halves, right?
“First half, we started off slow on the first drive but got it rolling after that, got some first downs and scored. We got some points in the second half, but we weren’t able to convert on third down, and that was the story for us.”
