The Green Bay Packers were able to upset the visiting Dallas Cowboys yesterday afternoon at Lambeau Field, taking down former head coach Mike McCarthy in overtime by a 31-28 final score. Needless to say, it wasn't the result that former Packers coach Mike McCarthy wanted in his first trip back to his former home since being terminated in 2018.
Quarterback Dak Prescott took some criticism for his performance, going a mere 1-of-5 on third and fourth down passes. So, is he the "weak link" of the team? Team owner and general manager Jerry Jones pushed back on that assertion.
“I can say that’s not correct,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan, per Jori Epstein of Yahoo! Sports. “The strength that I look at of our chance to win a championship is Dak and his leadership at that position . . . I don’t think that’s accurate.”
“Dak brings us a seperator,” Jones continued. “Now, does that mean Dak’s going to win every game or make every comeback or every key situation? Of course not. But by the same token, if you were constructing the possibility of competing for a Super Bowl, I would start on this team right there with Dak. He’s that integral to us really being able to have the year we want to have.”
The Cowboys are back in action next weekend against the Minnesota Vikings.
