Star quarterback Dak Prescott mentioned that the Dallas Cowboys need to be more professional and focused.
Cornerback Jourdan Lewis expressed his frustration, saying that the team is falling short when it comes to paying attention to details.
After suffering a third straight home loss with a three-touchdown deficit, the defending NFC East champions are feeling tense as they prepare for a short week ahead of their first division game against the New York Giants on Thursday night.
“We’re not detailed in our work,” Lewis said Monday, a day after losing 28-25 to Baltimore, a game that was only close because the Cowboys outscored the Ravens 19-0 in the fourth quarter. “You can take advantage of details. That’s how you win in this league. Everybody’s good in this league. It’s the details that make you different.”
The Cowboys (1-2) allowed 274 rushing yards to Baltimore, the highest amount since one of the worst defenses in team history gave up at least 294 yards in two games in 2020.
The Ravens easily scored touchdowns on their first two drives, a week after the Saints scored on their first six possessions in a 44-19 victory.
The Dallas offense did manage to keep up with New Orleans early in the game, but they had to settle for too many field goals.
Before a late rally sparked by a rare onside kick recovery against the Ravens, Prescott and the team were not very efficient.
All-Pro receiver CeeDee Lamb, who did not speak to reporters after the game or when the locker room opened on Monday, had a fumble and one of three false starts for an offense that also committed three holding penalties.
