Coach Mike McCarthy will likely be under even more heat after this performance, which included a fake field goal that went no way, a fourth down by receiver CeeDee Lamb that was thrown for a 3-yard loss and a botched coverage where three defensive backs tangled with each other and left Mooney alone for his touchdown catch.

For good measure, the Dallas offensive line surrendered three sacks to a team that entered the game with an NFL-worst six sacks through the first eight weeks.

“We’re on a five-game losing streak and so we clearly understand where that takes us as far as it’s going to take,” McCarthy said. “We have to get to the win.”

As if they don’t have enough problems, the Cowboys now have to worry about Prescott’s health. He plans to have an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the hamstring injury.

“It’s something I’ve never felt,” Prescott said. “I saw the medical team and asked if I could make the situation worse. At that time, they said that I would not be able to protect myself and called for me to be detained.”

Atlanta lost its best receiver in the first quarter when London landed hard on his right hip after receiving a pass from Cousins.
