The Dallas Cowboys have now lost three straight games after falling to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, 27-21, and there was more damage than just to the win-loss record.

Quarterback Dak Prescott was ruled out of the game in the second half with a hamstring injury, and Cooper Rush took over.

Prescott was also spotted with trainers who were looking at his throwing hand in the fourth quarter. But it was ultimately the hamstring that Prescott was ruled out with.

Prescott said after the game that the injury was something he'd "never felt before." He said he would get an MRI to help figure out the next steps.

Also, star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was slow to get up on an attempt to dive and catch a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Lamb held his shoulder immediately after landing on it, but he would run off the field on his own power, though he appeared to be in pain. 

The Cowboys weren’t having much success when Prescott was in the game. He did throw a touchdown with 18-of-24 passes completed for 133 yards. But it was Kirk Cousins and the Falcons’ offense that had the upper hand in the end. 

Cousins found the end zone three times through the air, with Drake London hauling in the first touchdown of the game on a beautifully thrown back-shoulder fade from Cousins over Cowboys top cornerback Trevon Diggs.
