The Dallas Cowboys, who won the NFC East title last season, are coming to a collapsing end this end. With each passing week, fans are losing faith in the team, while quarterback Dak Prescott watches helplessly from the sidelines.
The Cowboys star quarterback, who was widely considered the last hope amid the losing season, sustained a serious hamstring injury in the Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Initially, his injury was not listed as serious but upon consulting a specialist, he was advised to undergo surgery and the Cowboys had no option but to bench him.
In a conversation with Dallas Morning News, the three-time Pro Bowler opened up about the effects of Dallas’ losing season has been on him. He couldn’t hold back his tears upon realizing how bad his team was doing at the moment.
The other day, after the game, I guess, it all just hit me. Boom, right. A couple of tears came down. This is going to hurt. It’s going to suck at times. You just have to understand this is one of the moments that it does. I don’t want anything right now other than to let it suck. It’s understanding and being able to voice that, ‘Yeah, I’m blessed to be where I’m at.’

The Cowboys are having the worst season, (with a 3-7 record) in more than three decades and as they continue collapsing, the team has rather become a piece of entertainment around the NFL and sports media.
Dak Prescott’s hamstring injury update
In his eight-year NFL career, Prescott hasn’t suffered a lot of injuries, let alone serious ones. If it was in his control, he would have stayed the starting for his team, leading them to victories in the hope of ending the season average. However, almost all tendons attaching his hamstring to his pelvis were torn off in the injury and the remaining one was hanging by a thread.
It started to lift off the bone even more. That one was doing all the work, and now it was compromised. Hell, I had a week of not even playing football, just walking and normal movement and that was tearing it.

Given the severity of the injury, the star quarterback underwent surgery and backup Cooper Rush replaced him on the football field. His prognosis has been incredible and will recover completely in three months.
