Through the first two weeks of the season, the Dallas Cowboys were riding high.
It started with a surprising loss to the Arizona Cardinals but only got worse last week. It was a “Sunday Night Football” to forget for the Dallas Cowboys, who got blown out by the San Francisco 49ers 42-10. Prescott has never been blown out like this in eight seasons as the starter, which is why he called it his most humbling loss.
Do you want to know what else is humbling? ESPN’s computer model has an updated list of the four teams with the best chance to win the NFC and the Cowboys are no longer on it.
The list includes the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions, and Seattle Seahawks.
The Cowboys have only been impressive in victories against the New York Giants, New York Jets, and the New England Patriots. They looked really bad in losses to the Arizona Cardinals and then the 49ers on Sunday Night Football.
Suddenly, the Cowboys take a rather ordinary 3-2 record into another trip to the West Coast, against the Los Angeles Chargers next Monday night.

The Cowboys could still very well meet the 49ers in the playoffs for a third straight year but they have already lost the last two times.
Doubt about Dallas’ legitimacy will linger for weeks, at least until the first Sunday in November and the first of two meetings with another team currently undefeated, the Eagles.
