SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Two more interceptions from Dak Prescott and a failed attempt at a comeback win. A defense that allowed three straight TD drives in the third quarter.

The week off for the Dallas Cowboys did little to solve the litany of problems that have a team that won 12 games in each of the past three seasons struggling for a playoff spot in 2024 after losing 30-24 to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. “I can definitely tell you nobody is shaking or giving up,” Prescott said.
“Frustration is very high, but it’s a long season. A lot of the division games are still ahead of us. Frustrated.
That’s the best way I can put it. The frustration for the Cowboys (3-4) boiled over with cornerback Trevon Diggs coming out of the locker room in full uniform just minutes after the game ended to confront a reporter who questioned his performance on a play in the second quarter with a post on X, formerly known as Twitter , during the game. But the biggest problems for the Cowboys once again were on the field.
The defense struggled to generate any pressure on Brock Purdy with Micah Parsons still sidelined by an ankle injury. Dallas got gashed for 223 yards rushing on the game — including a few key scrambles from Purdy — and gave up 7.3 yards per play without generating any turnovers.
Dallas has five takeaways in seven games after leading the NFL in that cate.
