""Honestly, just the zero looks and things like that," Prescott said. "Simple as that, anytime we were in a passing situation or passing downs and they were giving us that look, we tried to throw him just a quick smoke - not early, well late honestly - and maybe we should have done it earlier. Maybe we should have just thrown him a slant. A lot of 'maybes.' I'm frustrated. This was one of the toughest ones I've been a part of.""
"Maybe Prescott is right about the slant routes, though it sure felt like the Vikings - just like Detroit a week ago - were sitting on it. The Cowboys failed to have a changeup going into this one. Brian Schottenheimer's offense shut down by Cover-0 looks Prescott attributed the "zero" looks to why he struggled to get Pickens the football, but that wasn't it. Instead, he thinks that's what overall made the Cowboys struggle in a must-win matchup."
George Pickens was minimally involved in back-to-back Cowboys losses, signaling offensive problems. The Vikings used heavy Cover-0 looks and frequent blitzing to disrupt passing situations. Dak Prescott and teammates tried quick throws and late smokes but failed to execute earlier or run different routes like slants. The offense lacked a meaningful changeup and could not answer Brian Flores' aggressive scheme. Prescott expressed frustration and admitted the team lacked adequate solutions. Responsibility for failing to adjust falls partly on offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and the coaching staff for not providing better gameplan answers.
