Dak Prescott has thrown two interceptions already in the game.
The Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers are playing each other in the NFC Wild Card game at the AT&T Stadium. It is a game filled with great storylines.
Mike McCarthy will call the game against his former team with whom he won his only Super Bowl, back in 2011. It is also Jordan Love‘s first playoff game as Green Bay’s starting QB. However, one of the biggest storylines coming into the game was Dak Prescott and his possible redemption tour after a disastrous 2022 season.
Prescott has had a fantastic season with the Cowboys as he is one of the candidates to win the league MVP. However, he hasn’t started the game well. Prescott has already thrown multiple picks, including a devastating pick-6 that extended the Packers lead to 27-0 before halftime.
With 2 minutes left in the first half and the Packers leading the game 20-0, Prescott had a chance to conjure up a scoring drive and give his team some points before halftime. However, the veteran quarterback threw a devastating pick, his second, as Darnell Savage jumped a short pass and took it all the way to the house for a 64-yard touchdown.
That was Prescott’s second interception on the night as his first came in the first quarter to Jaire Alexander. The eighth-year quarterback hasn’t been at his best since the very first snap and that has helped the Packers to blow open the game in the first half.
Fans slam Dak Prescott for throwing a horrible pick-6 just before halftime during the Wild Card game
The Dallas Cowboys have been shocked by the Green Bay Packers. The NFC East champions came into the game as the favorites, but have been humbled by a fiery Packers side. Cowboys’ QB Dak Prescott helped the Packers extend their lead as he threw a terrible pick-six right before halftime that had the fans pulling their hairs out.

Social media went ablaze after the pick-6 as that helped the Packers blow the game open and take a 27-0 lead. Although the Cowboys scored a touchdown on the final possession of the half, the interception gave the Packers a 20-point lead going into halftime. Here are some of the reactions to the pick-6.
Prescott is coming off a 15-interception season last year. He was maligned for his turnovers and had a lot of eyeballs on him heading into the 2023 season. Although he had a much better regular season, he has been awful in the game against the Packers. It will be a long road ahead for the Cowboys from here.
