Dak Prescott threw his first interception of the season on Sunday, and it was not pretty,

Late in the fourth quarter, while down 12 to the Cardinals, Prescott and the Cowboys found themselves in the red zone, ready to score.

Unfortunately, Prescott threw an interception, which basically sealed the game for the Cardinals.

On closer inspection, Prescott was throwing into triple coverage and had no shot at getting the ball to his receiver.

Prescott took responsibility for the team’s “humbling” loss.

“We knew who we are. In that same sense, I’m sure the media got what it wanted. For us, there hadn’t been but one undefeated team. It sucks, it’s humbling, but to say it’s a wake-up call, we knew we had a lot of adversity and we just didn’t get it done. It just goes back to myself, the offense, in the red zone. We get better there, we win this game. But we’ve got to fix that area, period.”

“We’re staying in the moment. That’s who we are. That’s who this team is,” said Prescott, who was playing behind an offensive line missing two starters. “This was a humbling loss in that sense. Obviously, we’ve had a lot of adversity just throughout the week. It wasn’t easy. Nobody’s making excuses. I thought we had a great opportunity to come in and, even with the adversity, get a win. Obviously, every week you’ve got to reset and refocus, and honestly, it’s a little bit easier after a loss. So, there’s not going to be any worries about that.”
