Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott appeared to vented his frustrations during his team’s third consecutive loss — which was caught on camera for the world to see.
Prescott, 31, could be seen on the sidelines seemingly saying “we we f—ing suck” during the third quarter of the team’s 27-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, November 4, the Cowboys’ third straight defeat.
The moment happened during a report by Fox Sports’ Pam Oliver about Prescott’s teaMMAte CeeDee Lamb, who left the Game with a shoulder injury.
Moments later, Prescott himself would leave the Game after suffering a hamstring injury. Back-up quarterback Cooper Rush played the fourth quarter in Prescott’s absence.
After the game, Prescott told reporters he would undergo an MRI on Monday, November 4 to assess the extent of the damage.
“I gotta get it looked at,” Prescott said. “Didn’t think much of it. Then the next play, I felt a pull. That’s something I never felt. It was tough to walk on it at that point. I asked if I could make it worse. The (medical staff) said I wouldn’t be able to protect myself.”
He added, “I wanted to get out there and compete. I wanted to get out there and fight.”
NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport offered an update on Monday, reporting Prescott will miss “multiple weeks” with the hamstring injury.
The Cowboys return to action on Sunday, November 10 against their bitter rival, the Philadelphia Eagles, for which Prescott will not be active.
The loss to the Falcons marked the third in a row for the Cowboys, following a drubbing by the Detroit Lions on October 13 and a loss to the San Francisco 49ers on October 27.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed optimism about the rest of the season for his team, who dropped to 3-5 with the loss to Atlanta.
“That room is full of guys who can get it done,” Jones, 82, told reporters outside the team’s locker room. “I believe in them. Coaches and all.”
Still, Jones extended an olive branch to the franchise’s massive fanbase.
“I really regret this for all of our Dallas Cowboys fans,” he said.
