The QB had a decent night, in which he threw for 316 yards, but the Cowboys’ poor display in the third quarter took the game away from them.Dallas had a 10-7 lead at halftime and it seemed like they would take things under control to secure their third win of the season. But their defence capitulated and conceded 17 points in the third quarter alone, which was a key reason behind their loss.Defence has once again become the Cowboys’ Achilles heel, but Fehoko believes this story is a repeat from previous seasons.Fehoko believes the Cowboys could have had two Super BowlsSince coming into the league, Prescott has developed a reputation for being one of the best QBs in the league. He has had some big seasons, including last year, but the team’s poor defence has held them back.Fehoko, who has played against Prescott, made a major claim as he was watching the QB play against the Commanders.“If Dak Prescott had a defense these Cowboys would have 2 Super Bowls by now,” Fehoko tweeted.Fehoko had a series of tweets where he criticized the Cowboys’ defence and even asked for the firing of the defensive coordinator Christian Parker.“I can only imagine the damage Dak, Herbert, Burrow, Lamar, and TLaw would do if they had that Eagles roster,” Fehoko tweeted.While Prescott has been brilliant, there have been some lapses from him in the playoffs as well. He holds a 2-5 record in the postseason. In his last two playoff games, Prescott has thrown a combined four interceptions. This is not to say the defence was impressive in these years, but Prescott himself admitted his fault in these defeats.The Dallas defence has been lacklustre this season again, but there has been a major revamp, which is why it has taken some time for the players to adjust not just to their teammates, but also to Parker’s system. However, with their 2-3 record, things have to start moving quickly when it comes to a change in their mindset, as another defeat or two could put them out of the playoff spot.Read more:‘He ain’t lying’ – Dallas Cowboys fans agree with Dak Prescott receiving ’embarrassing’ labelDallas Cowboys face brutal reality after 24-16 defeat to Tampa Bay BuccaneersJerry Jones shares his stance on potential blockbuster trade for the Dallas Cowboys
