Cowboys' Offense Struggles Continue Under McCarthy, Prescott
The Dallas Cowboys' offense has gotten off to its worst start under head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Dak Prescott.
Through the first three games of the season, the Cowboys are averaging just 14.3 points per game, which is the 31st-lowest mark in the NFL. They have also turned the ball over seven times, which is tied for the seventh-most in the league.
Prescott has struggled in particular, completing just 58.3% of his passes for 583 yards, three touchdowns, and four interceptions. He has also been sacked 12 times, which is the fourth-most in the NFL.
The Cowboys' offensive line has also been a major issue, as they have allowed Prescott to be pressured on 30.3% of his dropbacks, which is the 10th-highest rate in the NFL.
McCarthy has been criticized for his play-calling, which has been conservative and predictable. He has also been criticized for his decision-making, such as his decision to punt the ball on 4th-and-1 from the Rams' 45-yard line in the Cowboys' Week 2 loss.
The Cowboys are now 1-2 on the season and face a tough matchup against the undefeated Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. If they want to turn their season around, they will need to find a way to improve their offensive production.
