"When Dak Prescott trails by double digits at halftime, the numbers are staggering. In his Dallas Cowboys career, Prescott is 1-19 when down by 10 or more at halftime - a stat that highlights how Dallas falters when forced to play from behind. And while much of the public criticism falls on Prescott, the truth is clear: the Cowboys' defense has been the biggest culprit when the scoreboard turns ugly early."
"Prescott's lone win in these situations came in Week 2 of the 2020 season against the Atlanta Falcons. Dallas trailed 29-10 at halftime but stormed back to win 40-39 in one of the most dramatic finishes in team history. That game remains the rare example where both sides of the ball found rhythm - the defense tightened up, and Prescott executed nearly flawlessly."
Dak Prescott is 1-19 when trailing by 10 or more points at halftime in his Dallas Cowboys career. The lone comeback occurred in Week 2 of 2020 against the Atlanta Falcons, when Dallas rallied from a 29-10 halftime deficit to win 40-39. In most of the 19 losses, the Cowboys' defense failed to force turnovers, stop opponents on third down, or contain the run, allowing opponents to control tempo and drain the clock. Notable defensive breakdowns include games versus Green Bay, San Francisco, and Buffalo. Offensive improvements under Brian Schottenheimer have not resolved defensive shortcomings.
