Carolina would go on to eat up all the clock remaining, before kicking a game-winning field goal.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, many fans are blaming the Dallas defense, which has now allowed 30 or more points in four out of six games.

The Dallas Cowboys defense is shaping up to be one of the worst in modern NFL history. However, the team&#8217;s offense hasn&#8217;t been perfect, resulting in a tough loss like the one on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Prescott, though, is refusing to throw his teammates under the bus &#8211; and it&#8217;s a great sign for his leadership moving forward.<\/p>\n<p><i>This story was originally reported by The Spun on Oct 14, 2025, where it first appeared in the NFL section.
