The Dallas Cowboys typically reserve their spontaneous enthusiasm for the playoffs. In the regular season, Mike McCarthy’s team has almost always been the best in the world, winning at least 12 games in three straight years. When the stakes are low, the Cowboys can almost always be counted on to be there. They are the very definition of favorites.
After a disheartening 28-25 loss to the Baltimore Ravens — where, at one point, they trailed 28-3 — it appears the Cowboys might implode early by their standards.
Dak Prescott’s mentality after Sunday’s loss shows that.
Walking down the tunnel after the game, Prescott was recorded saying, “Jump if you want to.” It’s an obvious suggestion to Cowboys fans who (rightly) don’t believe in the team after a troubling 1-2 start to the season to get off the Dallas train. And it’s a little strange to hear it coming from Prescott, of all people, who should probably do a little more soul-searching as a new leader before turning his anger on the non-believers on a team that demonstrates that it’s generally right not to show faith.

I have two things to say to Prescott after this: Don’t worry, whoever stays on the Cowboys train certainly jump if Dallas continues to willingly step on rakes it’s early in the season. After all the failures in the playoffs, you gave those who still believe in you (?) no more reason to believe in you.
And if you talk like that, it shows that you are not focusing your attention on the right points. Another real collapse of Dallas could be imminent.
