Cowboys fans torn between a D.Prescott masterclass and C.Lamb's bricklaying in a one-score loss to the champs.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
D.Prescott was throwing darts — the 32-yard strike to C.Lamb at the PHI 1 in the first quarter was the kind of throw fans have been begging for — but the drops piled up and the loss will get pinned on him anyway. The real dagger was J.Hurts uncorking a 51-yarder to J.Dotson before the half, turning a competitive night into a chase. Quarterback play wasn't the problem. The hands and the secondary were.
