Dak Prescott suffers an injury as the Cowboys fall to 3rd in a row with a loss to the Falcons

The Dallas Cowboys have now lost three games in a row after losing 27-21 to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, and there has been more damage than just the win-loss record.

Quarterback Dak Prescott was sidelined in the second half with a hamstring injury and Cooper Rush took over.

Prescott was making a throw in the game when he appeared lame after releasing the ball.

Prescott was also seen with trainers looking at his throwing hand in the fourth quarter. Ultimately, it was the Achilles tendon that caused Prescott to retire.

Prescott said after the game that he had “never felt” the injury before. He said he would get an MRI to figure out next steps.

Additionally, star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was slow to dunk and catch a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Lamb grabbed his shoulder immediately after landing, but ran off the field under his own power, although he appeared to be in pain.

The Cowboys didn't have much success when Prescott was in the game. He threw a touchdown on 18 of 24 passes for 133 yards. But it was Kirk Cousins and the Falcons' offense that ultimately had the upper hand.

Cousins found the end zone three times through the air, with Drake London scoring the game's first touchdown on a beautifully thrown back-shoulder fade by Cousins over the Cowboys' best cornerback, Trevon Diggs.

However, London was eventually ruled out of the game after suffering a hip injury during that great catch in the end zone.

Then, on a 4th-and-3 situation, the Cowboys' defense completely lost sight of Darnell Mooney sneaking past them as he scored a 36-yard touchdown.

Ray-Ray McCloud III found his way into the end zone for Cousins' final touchdown pass of the day, which came in the third quarter.

While Bijan Robinson led the way with 86 rushing yards and 19 carries, it was Tyler Allgeier who forced his way into the end zone in the second half and extended Atlanta's lead. He had 145 scrimmage yards after hauling in seven catches for 59 yards.
