Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott postgame press conference after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in Philly “Yeah, you said it. It’s a game of inches, that’s why you’ve got to love this game. It’s tough. It’s tough to win. We fought our [tails] off. Obviously, they did. Great NFC East matchup. They came out with it tonight, but as you just said, an inch or two on one of those three plays and we could be talking about a different outcome. But, you know, they got this one. Sucks. We’re going to take it, and we’re going to move forward and use the fight, use a lot of the success. A lot of good things came out of this game despite the loss. On the road, division game, great opponent they are, success that they’ve had in their environment. As I said, it sucks in the moment, but a lot of good we can take from this and use as we keep going.” On the team locking in with each other: “I mean, it goes back to the work, it goes back to the chemistry, the trust. A lot of guys put in work in the offseason. There were many days where it was just me and [Cowboys WR] CeeDee [Lamb] to be honest with you. When that happens, there comes communication, a chance to talk, a chance to just get on the same page and, as I said last week and before, you’ve got to credit [Cowboys Head Coach] Mike [McCarthy], [Cowboys Offensive Coordinator Brian Schottenheimer], those guys for the designs and putting him in favorable matchups, and then obviously it’s just CeeDee Lamb being CeeDee Lamb. Being a big-time player, some run-after catches, some big time catches. And wanting the ball, wanting to be in those positions, wanting to be in those situations. Because we talked about, probably a month ago, from the frustration, that’s what that came from. Because he knows what he can bring to this team. He knows what he can do with the ball in his hands, and it’s just been consecutive weeks now that he’s continued to show that and don’t expect anything to change.” On his thoughts during the last drive: “[Shoot], we’re going to win. At no point in my mind throughout that game did I think anything different. Obviously, it sucked in the first possession and that second-to-last possession not converting that fourth down. But having tons of trust in our defense, they go out there and they do what they need to do to get the ball back, and with under a minute left, we’ve still got trust that we’re going to go out there and we’re going to – trust and faith in our guys and with the work that we put in that we’re going to get it done. Yeah, we got close. We got close. We were doing things the right way. We’ve just got to – an inch here or an inch there. Make that difference and we’ll find a way to gain that.” On developing trust with weapons outside of WR CeeDee Lamb: “They’re doing things the right way, they come in each and every day with the right approach, young guys who are hungry to learn, young guys who are hungry to make plays. They want more responsibility, and when you see them make catches and make plays like that, that’s what it comes from, them practicing the right way, them being in the right spot, doing things at practice, making those catches at practice when we compete and go against our defense, and then when you get out here you just have trust. I’ve talked about it before, that’s me just going through my reads, trusting the guys that coaches put in those spots, and these young guys have been stepping up and making plays.” On the final drive’s two sacks: “Yeah, obviously both. I’ve got to be better and get the ball out of my hands in a situation like that. A little detail on one of the routes there that could’ve been cleaner that didn’t happen, but as you said for us to get down there and then just kind of stall out, we’ve got to be better. We practice these situations a lot. Obviously, you don’t practice getting there then backing up and so. But still felt we had a chance on that last play, a play we felt very, very comfortable with. I think that last moving back five yards obviously hurt that play, that play was supposed to be right there in the end zone about a yard, just that last pushing us back to the 30 [yard line], a little bit outside of the 25 [yard line] makes that play a little bit tougher, when guys are standing right there at the goal line. But it’s tough, it was a great game on both ends, and tough to be on the losing end, as you said especially when you had so much success and got down to the redzone and didn’t complete it.” #JalenHurts #game #gameday #post #reporter #questions #interview #sports #interview #dallas #cowboys #texas #pennsylvania #flyeaglesfly #nfl #dallascowboys #Eagles #birds #boys #philly #philadelphiaeagles #eagles #football #fox #win #won #1 #nfc #football #sunday #nflfootball #nflnews #nicksirianni #iggles #philly #inches #lost #loss #losing #dakprescott #mikemccarthy #bigd #fought #fight
