The Dallas Cowboys finally got back on track Monday night when they went on the road and defeated the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium.
Dak Prescott, who had been the target of so much criticism, threw for 272 yards and a touchdown as the Dallas Cowboys rebounded from a rout a week ago to beat the Los Angeles Chargers 20-17 on Monday night. Prescott completed 21 of 30 passes and also had a rushing TD.
Dallas, coming off a 42-10 loss at San Francisco, improved to 10-1 since the start of 2021 in games after a loss.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy spoke on Prescott on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Radio and made sure to send heaping praise toward his quarterback.
“I love Dak Prescott as our quarterback. I think the way he’s built all the way through, obviously his physical skill set is excellent,” McCarthy said.
“But what he endures mentally and emotionally compared to the other 31 (NFL starting QBs) is unique.”
According to McCarthy, Prescott is being scrutinized more than any other quarterback in the NFL right now or that he has ever seen.

“For him to be as consistent, his attitude is very much the same every day as far as how he attacks the preparation part of it, you have to be unique to deal with that,” McCarthy said.
Fans were quick to respond to his statement:
The Cowboys enter a bye week before returning to host the Los Angeles Rams, while the Chargers are on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs next weekend.
The win ensured that the Cowboys kept pace in the NFC East, especially after the Philadelphia Eagles finally suffered their first loss of the year.
