season that ended with a spectacular turnaround and a playoff berth. That was one of the most exciting campaigns of <strong>Dak Prescott<\/strong>\u2019s career, as Dallas closed the <strong>2018 season <\/strong>with an impressive<strong> 7-1 run<\/strong> after acquiring star receiver Amari Cooper and punching a ticket to the postseason.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-player\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__media-img-container ue-l-article--expand-edge-right-until-tablet ue-l-article--expand-edge-left-until-tablet\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__media-video-responsive ue-c-article__media-video-responsive--16-9\">\n<div id=\"player_1ce0eccdbe18a952b7061677_xbr6xy6\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption-inner\"><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Miranda Lambert is bringing country hits to the Cowboys-Eagles Thanksgiving show<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">In that final stretch, the Cowboys defeated the <strong>Seattle Seahawks<\/strong> in the <strong>Wild Card<\/strong> round before falling to the <strong>Los Angeles Rams<\/strong> in the Divisional Round. So with Dallas once again sitting at <strong>3-5<\/strong>, some might think a similar comeback is still possible.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">But that comparison does not appear to convince Prescott, especially after the way the <strong>Cowboys let a 24-10 fourth-quarter lead slip away<\/strong> against an Arizona Cardinals team that entered the game at 2-5. Dallas ultimately fell <strong>33-30 in overtime <\/strong>in its own stadium.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__embedded\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet-lazy\" data-lang=\"es\"><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Prescott had used the <strong>2018 <\/strong>season as a reference point during the team\u2019s difficult start. However, after such a painful loss in a game they seemed to have under control, the quarterback does not want to rely on stories from the past.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Dak Prescott: \u201cTalk is cheap\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">After the game, Prescott dismissed the idea that the Cowboys can simply repeat the <strong>2018 <\/strong>formula and stage an automatic turnaround. The defeat came after a stunning Arizona rally led by backup quarterback <strong>Gardner Minshew<\/strong>, who threw three second-half touchdowns, and running back <strong>Tyler Allgeier<\/strong>, who piled up <strong>147 yards on just 11 carries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\"><strong>\u201cAt this point, talk is cheap, telling stories is cheap. We have to go write our own story,\u201d<\/strong> Prescott said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__embedded\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet-lazy\" data-lang=\"es\"><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Despite the difficult outlook, the quarterback made clear that he still believes in the team\u2019s chances. For him, it is not the same to fall to contenders like the <strong>Green Bay Packers or Baltimore Ravens<\/strong> as it is to lose to a Cardinals team that stole a nearly locked-up victory.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\"><strong>\u201cWe still got time,\u201d <\/strong>Prescott said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Cowboys stand behind Brian Schottenheimer<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Despite the results crisis, the <strong>Cowboys <\/strong>still have playoff options thanks to an <strong>NFC East <\/strong>that remains wide open. However, the idea that a coaching change could give the team a new spark has grown among fans.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Owner <strong>Jerry Jones <\/strong>made clear that, for now, he is not considering that possibility.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">And Prescott does not believe the solution is to single out<strong> Brian Schottenheimer <\/strong>alone.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">When asked about the criticism directed at the head coach, the quarterback defended the coaching staff and the entire group:<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\"><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s all of us.
