The Dallas Cowboys showed signs of life in the first half against the San Francisco 49ers, but an epic third-quarter collapse doomed Dallas in the Week 8 primetime showdown.

The offensive line and running game struggled again, not a single receiver outside of CeeDee Lamb stepped up, the secondary was a disaster and Dak Prescott had more ill-advised throws that led to turnovers.

It was another disaster for the Cowboys and frustrations boiled over.

After the game, Prescott echoed comments made by some of his teammates.

But while Prescott was honest about the team’s frustrations with their continued losses, he isn’t giving up hope that the team can turn things around.

“No one is shocked or giving up,” Prescott said. “Frustration is very high. It’s a long season.”

Against the 49ers, Prescott threw for 243 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. On the season, he has thrown for 1,845 yards, 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

The team’s inability to consistently find the end zone and interceptions are cause for concern, especially after signing a record-setting contract before the season that pays Prescott $60 million per year.

Of course, those around Prescott need to step up, but he paid the big bucks to make everyone around him better. We’ll see if the team can find a way to get back on track.

Next up for Dallas is a Week 9 showdown against the 5-3 Atlanta Falcons on the road.
