Playoff losses to 49ers have Cowboys motivated ahead of Week 5 tilt

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dak Prescott almost let a cuss word come out of his mouth.

After the Dallas Cowboys dominated the New England Patriots, 38-3, at AT&T Stadium Sunday, the subject turned to next week’s opponent, the San Francisco 49ers.

In each of the past two years, the Cowboys’ season ended with a playoff loss to San Francisco, including a 19-12 loss at Levi’s Stadium in the divisional round on Jan. 22. While that defeat is more than eight months old, it still drives Prescott.

“I mean every eff …,” Prescott said, catching himself.
