Dak Prescott played one of the best games of his NFL career last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and ended his streak of seven straight games with an interception.

Prescott couldn’t make it two games in a row.

The Cowboys QB threw two interceptions in the first half of the Cowboys playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Prescott was tied for the league lead in interceptions during the regular season.

Prescott finished the game going 23-of-37 for 206 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.

Social media had a field day with Prescott’s first half.

Why is Dak Prescott forcing passes on 2nd and 2 on the 20? Because his team does not have a field goal kicker.

Brock Purdy is taking what the defense is giving him.

Dak Prescott is playing hero ball too much.

That’s why Dallas is losing, plain and simple.

Robbie Gould connects from 50 yards to give the Niners a 9-6 lead at halftime. Gould has never missed a FG attempt in the playoffs. Six of San Francisco's nine points have come from Dak Prescott's interceptions.
