Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was down in the dumps during the closing stages of his team’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, with cameras catching him making an X-rated comment.
The Cowboys had high expectations coming into the season, including a possible trip to the Super Bowl after finishing last year as the NFC’s No 2 seed.
After Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Cowboys are 3-5, and Prescott himself exited the game with a hamstring injury that has team owner Jerry Jones ‘concerned’.
As cameras panned to Prescott on the sideline without his helmet on, he leans to a teammate and says ‘We f***ing suck.’
That is not the most inspiring message coming from the locker-room leader at the halfway point of the regular season.

The Cowboys are currently 3.5 games back of their archrivals, the Washington Commanders, for the NFC East lead.
Things do not look much better coming down the line for Dallas either, as it likely will not be favored in any of its next three games.
Between now and the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day clash with the New York Giants, they will play the Eagles, Texans, and Commanders, all of whom are currently in the projected playoff fields in their conferences.
Prescott will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of his injury, with possible time out of the Cowboys lineup an option.
Cooper Rush is Prescott’s backup and threw 13 completions on 25 attempts and a touchdowns against Atlanta.
With Prescott’s long-term future in Dallas locked in, things will need to change quickly for him to stay happy.
