Dak Prescott digs early gap for Cowboys with 1st-quarter interception vs. 49ers

Dak Prescott cruised within the wild-card spherical with a four-touchdown recreation in a Dallas Cowboys romp.

That was towards the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The San Francisco 49ers protection is a special beast and made Prescott pay for an early mistake in Sunday’s divisional spherical. Going through third-and-9 from the Dallas 21-yard line within the first quarter, Prescott lofted a go to Michael Gallup down the left sideline because the 49ers go rush converged. Deommodore Lenoiri intervened.

The 49ers cornerback jumped the route and picked off the go for the primary turnover of the day.

Fortuitously for the Cowboys, the 49ers offense did not benefit from the chance. San Francisco managed only a area purpose and a 3-0 lead after taking on possession on the Dallas 21. Nevertheless it was a troubling begin for the Cowboys.

At his finest, Prescott may be one of many recreation’s most harmful quarterbacks. It is a lesson the Bucs discovered the onerous approach final week. However he is been prone to mistakes and overaggressive play this season and tied Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills with a league-worst 15 interceptions this season. Turning the ball over towards the league’s finest protection in San Francisco is a system for failure.
