Jaguars 40, Cowboys 34
Q. You started with the interception in overtime. What happened there, and then also the one late in the second half?
DAK PRESCOTT: Yeah, late in the second half was trying to throw it to Dalton and kind of got grabbed from the back at the same time as I was throwing the ball; just came out of my hand.
Yeah, unfortunate.
Then in overtime, crossing route was throwing it low on purpose and just wasn't able to make the play and the connection between us two, and obviously tips up and guy makes a great catch right there above the ground and ends the game.
Q. You were almost perfect in the first half. How do you explain the offense between the first half and the second half and the lull in the third quarter?
DAK PRESCOTT: Yeah, I mean, that's a tough spot, especially when the third quarter this season has been where we've come out, we've come out hot after making adjustments, and tonight for that to be our lull and obviously have the turnover and have some stall-outs, some three-and-outs and don't get it going, it's tough, but it's hard for me to give you that answer right now. Haven't watched the film. Got to go back and do that and go from there.
Q. You talked all week about eliminating the interceptions and how frustrated you were by them. How much do you feel now --
DAK PRESCOTT: Yeah, frustration grows, obviously. To end the game on a pick six, yeah, it's tough. It's tough. It's frustrating. Not only that, as I said, the first one, yeah, I've just got to not even try to throw the ball right there, feeling the guy grab me and just tuck the ball and take the sack and just move on, move on to the next play. That's that balance.
Obviously I'll learn from it and tuck it next time. It's tough. It's tough treading that line, trying to make a play, trying to be aggressive, and at the same time not putting the ball at risk.
Q. The end of regulation on 3rd down, just your thought process on what you saw there on that completion down the sideline?
DAK PRESCOTT: Yeah, it was a one-on-one. Obviously we had a crossing route with CeeDee. They put two to three guys on him, and 31 was pretty much just off the whole time and I just tried to throw it deep and give Noah a chance.
Q. Does this change at all feelings going into Philadelphia week or how does it alter it?
DAK PRESCOTT: Honestly, it doesn't. Obviously it sucks losing, to start there, but if we would have won right there on the field goal, I don't think that necessarily changes the lull in the third quarter, the bad things that happened in this game. But yeah, so we've got to move on, just like any other week. It's not like -- I mean, I don't know what happened with Philly. Guessing they won. Yeah, so it doesn't -- it's not like that puts us in a better position or not. So it's about at this point building, trying to get better, trying to clean up our mistakes, learn from our mistakes and make sure that we're just carrying momentum heading into week after week as we move forward to get into this postseason.
Q. The first interception they got a touchdown out of and the second one they scored on. Do you put this on you in terms of this game? How do you internalize it?
DAK PRESCOTT: Yeah, I take every loss on the chin. I think that's my job as a quarterback, to put us in positions to win, and eliminate the mistakes and the potential chances to allow them to score after turnovers. That's what's frustrating about it, whether it's a tipped ball, whether it's an unfortunate interception, whatever it is.
They all suck, and at the end of the day, I've got to do a better job, and that's where it is. When I say I take them on the chin, that's why I'm also trying to make those plays, to make those plays to put us in a better field position and give us a better chance to win. Yeah, and it's tough. It's tough when you lose, second overtime game this year, and wanting to be in those positions, wanting to be in those positions having the ball in my hand, and when it ends up like that, yeah, it sucks. It's a feeling that I don't like, and I've got to learn from it and do better, put the ball in better positions, and be smarter with it.
