The Dallas Cowboys never led in Sunday’s 28-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. ... and now are questioning whether they’re able to deal with “adversity.’’
Here's three takeaways from the loss ... a loss we think is keyed by Dallas' failure to deal with"adversity.'' ...In the first game without All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs, who is out for the year with an ACL tear, the Dallas defense looked unrecognizable. The loss still happens with or without Diggs, but it's certainly concerning to see how flat the Cowboys looked on that end after playing a championship-winning defense in Weeks 1 and 2.
At the end of the day, Dallas could've bent but not broke, but instead shattered thanks to big gains of 44, 45 and 69 by the Arizona offense.This has been a rough week on a lot of fronts," said head coach Mike McCarthy."I think the amount of adversity you go through ... your preparation process, and we didn't have enough today.''Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott finished the loss 25 of 40 passing for 249 yards, one touchdown and one back-breaking interception.
"Obviously, we've had a lot of adversity throughout the week, and it wasn't easy, nobody's making excuses," said Prescott, who was in the middle of a second wave of"adversity'' when Dallas' O-line played without the injured trio of Tyron Smith, Zack Martin and Tyler Biadasz."We thought we had a great opportunity to come in here — even with the adversity — and get a win, and we didn't.
