Dak Prescotthas never been one to shy away from tough questions, but after Sunday’s brutal 44-19 loss to the New Orleans Saints, theDallas Cowboys’ star quarterback had to face the music. The Week 2 matchup wasn’t just another game-it was a wake-up call. The Saints, coming off a dominant 47-10 win over the Panthers, handed Dallas its first loss of the2024 NFL season, leaving fans and analysts questioning if the Cowboys have what it takes to be a serious contender this year.
Prescott, who struggled to find any rhythm, completed 27 of 39 passes for 293 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Despite the rough outing, he refused to point fingers or panic, keeping his message clear and calm. “We’ll learn from it,” Prescott said post-game. “It’s the NFL. Sometimes you get punched in the mouth, but it’s about how you respond.”
The game was all but decided by halftime, with the Cowboys trailing 35-16. New Orleans poured it on, making it look easy for the second week in a row. Prescott, visibly frustrated, acknowledged the Saints‘ impressive form but was adamant that Dallas would bounce back. “We know who we are, and we know what we’re capable of. This isn’t a reflection of our team. We’ll get back to work and make the adjustments,” he added.

However, Prescott’s performance left much to be desired. His two interceptions proved costly, one of which, right before halftime, turned the tide even further in New Orleans’ favor. Saints’ cornerback Paulson Adibo snagged an errant throw and returned it deep into Cowboys territory, leading to yet another touchdown that stretched the Saints’ lead to 35-13. The mistake was a momentum killer.

Tom Brady, now analyzing games from the broadcast booth, defended Prescott’s interception, blaming the receiver for slipping at the worst possible moment. “You hate to see that,” Brady commented during the broadcast. “Dak trusted his guy to make a play, but sometimes things go wrong. It’s football, and it’s frustrating, but that wasn’t on him.”
Cowboys’ offense and defense crumble, but Prescott stays confident
Despite Brady’s defense, the Cowboys’ offensive inconsistencies were glaring. After a solid opening week victory over the Cleveland Browns, many expected Dallas to carry that momentum into Week 2. Instead, they looked disjointed and outmatched against a Saints team not considered a favorite in the NFC.
The Cowboys’ defense also had its share of problems, allowing New Orleans to put up 40 points for the second straight week. Missed tackles, blown coverages, and lack of pressure on Saints quarterback Derek Carr made the night a long one for Dallas. The Cowboys’ defense was supposed to be one of their strengths, but on Sunday, it looked anything but.
Prescott, ever the leader, took ownership of the loss but made it clear that this game wouldn’t define the Cowboys’ season. “This is just a bump in the road,”Prescott stated firmly. “We’ve got a lot of football ahead of us. The season isn’t over after two games, and we’re going to show that.”

Looking ahead, the Cowboys (1-1) face the winless Baltimore Ravens next week in what will be a critical early-season matchup. While the season is still young, it’s clear Dallas needs to iron out the kinks fast. Prescott and company can’t afford another performance like Sunday’s if they hope to remain competitive in a crowded NFC.
Prescott’s confidence in his team is unwavering, but actions speak louder than words. For now, all eyes are on how the Cowboys will respond after their embarrassing loss.
