Dak Prescott's performance in Week 3 loss cannot happen moving forward for Cowboys

It started at the top for the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 3 loss against the Chicago Bears. Quarterback Dak Prescott's performance must be forgotten.

No one anticipated the Dallas Cowboys to look so sloppy in their 31-14 Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears.

It was apparent early in the game that this one would not be going the Cowboys' way. The defense allowed Bears quarterback Caleb Williams to look like Troy Aikman, while the Cowboys' offense looked off balance all game.

The loss is not on the shoulders of one player, but quarterback Dak Prescott did not have the performance that is needed from the highest-paid player in the league.

Prescott grabbed some "garbage stats" late in the fourth as he attempted to lead the team down the field for a score when the game was already out of reach. Unfortunately, that drive would end with a Prescott interception.

The stat line will show that Prescott threw two interceptions in the loss. However, the first can be blamed on wide receiver George Pickens, who basically handed the ball to the Bears' secondary.

Like I mentioned earlier, this loss is not all on Prescott. The Cowboys' defense has to take a long look in the mirror after this one. But Prescott's performance is not what you want to see out of someone the franchise has so much invested in.
