Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott expressed frustration with offensive play-calling following a 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. Prescott criticized the decision to abandon the run during critical moments, particularly near the goal line. After gaining a controversial pass interference call to set up a potential scoring opportunity, the Cowboys settled for a field goal instead of a touchdown. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer acknowledged he may have overcoached Prescott during the final plays. The defeat drops Dallas to 1-2, with Prescott's performance not to blame, as he completed 25 of 40 passes for 276 yards. The Cowboys now prepare for a matchup against the Houston Texans in Week 4.
