Dak Prescott finished 24-of-37 with 206 passing yards, a touchdown pass and two interceptions. The team had 282 yards of total offense and was 5-for-15 on third down.
"Just disappointment," Prescott said of his performance. "Defense gave us an opportunity to win this game. They played hard against a really, really good offense, a really good team. For us to only put up the points that we did, that’s unacceptable. It starts with me. I’ve got to be better. There’s no other way to sugarcoat it."
McCarthy admitted that emotions were running high.
