Following a disheartening 47-9 defeat to the Detroit Lions in Week 6, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has called on his teammates to reflect on their performance during the bye week.

In an effort to reset after their disappointing start, the Cowboys took an extended six-day break during the bye week, exceeding the four consecutive days off mandated by the collective bargaining agreement.

Dallas coach Mike McCarthy held a meeting with players to address pressing performance issues, particularly focusing on turnovers and defensive struggles.

Performance metrics reveal that the Cowboys are struggling significantly, ranking in the bottom third of the league in red zone offense, red zone defense, rushing offense, and turnover ratios.

Despite the team's challenges, owner Jerry Jones has expressed confidence in the current roster and has ruled out any coaching changes, insisting that improvements must come from within.

Injuries have plagued the Cowboys, but there is hope for a boost as key players like All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland and pass rusher Micah Parsons may return for their upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers.

The team is also dealing with injuries to defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, wide receiver Brandin Cooks, and defensive end Marshawn Kneeland, who will be sidelined for additional games.

Prescott emphasized the necessity for each player to understand their role better and enhance their individual contributions as the team gears up for the next challenges.

ESPN Analytics forecasts a tough road ahead for the Cowboys, giving them less than a 43% chance of winning any of their next five games against opponents with a combined record of 21-13.

The Cowboys will face the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium in Week 7, with the highly anticipated game scheduled for Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET.
