Dallas lost 34-31 to Baltimore in Rio de Janeiro after a Ravens field goal. Prescott said Dallas had to put the game away and the defense should not have been in that position; coach Brian Schottenheimer blamed his play-calling, grading it an F.
On the opening drive, Javonte Williams ran 36 yards to the 1-yard line, but Dallas’ pass plays ended with Prescott sacked on third down and the team settling for a field goal. Later, Jake Ferguson fumbled a shovel pass, and a fourth-quarter overthrow to Pickens left Dallas kicking a field goal to tie the score at 31.
Schottenheimer said the team thought it would score a touchdown near the goal line and that he needed to call better plays. He said he did not question his players and gave Baltimore credit for the win.
