With a 4-5 record after a 27-23 win over Indianapolis, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott believes the team has enough talent to make the playoffs without additions at the trade deadline. Owner Jerry Jones indicated no deal is imminent, stating "I don't see it" regarding roster moves. Despite the team's 4-5 standing, Prescott emphasized the Cowboys' belief in their current roster, though they face significant challenges in the competitive NFC East.
The Cowboys' path to the playoffs remains difficult, with the New York Giants holding the tiebreaker at 5-2-1. Dallas has dropped games they should have won, including losses to previously winless Tampa Bay and close defeats against Baltimore and Arizona. The team's recent victory over Indianapolis came via a late fourth-quarter comeback by Prescott, with Javonte Williams scoring the go-ahead touchdown with under two minutes remaining. Several key players were sidelined, including George Pickens and Joey Porter Jr.
Dallas faces a challenging remaining schedule, with five of their final eight games against division leaders or playoff contenders. The Cowboys have yet to win back-to-back games this season and will face the San Francisco 49ers at AT&T Stadium. Prescott acknowledged the team's self-inflicted struggles, stating they must win every game to climb out of their current hole in the standings.
