"Now or never": Dak Prescott urges Cowboys after loss against Cardinals

After the Cowboys' loss to the Cardinals on Monday, Dak Prescott expressed frustration with the team's performance.

He also delivered a blunt message to his teammates, urging them to turn the season around.

“Every game is a must-win going forward,” Prescott said. “I know you say that, and you feel that in the NFL, and you should feel that, but when you put yourself in a position or behind like we have, it’s even more so that case.”

“You can catch a hot streak and be right there in the mix,” Prescott said. “That’s great, but you gotta get a streak going. And if you don’t get a streak going, you’re just putting yourself more and more behind the eight ball. It’s now or never.”
