Dak Prescott gets honest about Cowboys road struggles
The Cowboys continued to struggle away from home.

The Dallas Cowboys weren't able to secure a win yesterday on the road against the Buffalo Bills, who dominated their visitors by a 31-10 final score to improve to 8-6 through the first 14 games of the 2023 season; meanwhile, the Cowboys dropped to 10-4.
The struggles of the Cowboys on the road became more and more evident against Buffalo, and that reality wasn't lost on quarterback Dak Prescott.
"It's a huge difference and, really, that's what these next couple weeks are about — is figuring out that difference, and trying to close that gap," said Prescott. "We want to come out and start how we do at home, and that's just not been the case. We've gotta find out what those answers are … we can't be two different teams: winning at home against a good team last week and then come out here today and not get anything done in all three phases."
The Cowboys are now 3-4 on the road, looking like a completely different team away from the friendly confines of AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
"It's a gap, and that's part of my message," said head coach Mike McCarthy of the difference between home and road games. "We play so well at home. There's just too big of a gap on our road games. We're conscious of it, and we've got a long flight home to think about it, and to talk about it. We've got to move on to Miami in the morning, and get this one corrected but, yes, we've gotta be better."
Things won't get any easier for the Cowboys, who will be taking on the Miami Dolphins on the road this upcoming weekend; like the Cowboys, the Dolphins are also 10-4. But they'll be embracing the challenge.
"I just this stretch really lays up well for us," McCarthy said. "It gives us three tough road games and I don't think anybody expected to play the way we did tonight."
The good news for Dallas is that their reservation in the NFL playoffs has already been confirmed, and that they will have a chance to bring home the ultimate glory in the former of the Super Bowl for the first time since the mid-1990s.
