FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Star quarterback Dak Prescott said the Dallas Cowboys have to be more professional and focused. Cornerback Jourdan Lewis sprinkled in a few expletives while trying to explain his belief that the team was falling woefully short with attention to detail. A third consecutive home loss with a three-touchdown deficit has the defending NFC East champions on edge as they face a short week before their first division game at the New York Giants on Thursday night.
“We’re not detailed in our work,” Lewis said Monday, a day after a 28-25 loss to Baltimore that was close only because of the Cowboys' 19-0 edge in the fourth quarter. “You can take advantage of details. That’s how you win in this league.
Everybody’s good in this league. It’s the details that make you different." The Cowboys (1-2) gave up 274 yards rushing to Baltimore, the most since one of the worst defenses in franchise history allowed two games of at least 294 yards on the ground in 2020.
The Ravens marched easily to touchdowns on their first two drives a week after the Saints reached the end zone the first six times they had the ball in New Orleans' 44-19 victory . The Dallas offense actually did a decent job trying to keep up with New Orleans early. The Cowboys just settled for too many field goals.
