It’s every sports team social media manager’s worst nightmare: posting after a horrible loss.
Such an endeavor was waiting for the Cowboys after their 19-12 defeat against the 49ers in Sunday’s divisional round matchup in which quarterback Dak Prescott struggled to the tune of two interceptions and just 206 passing yards. Even with that pedestrian line, few could have expected the team’s own Twitter account to share this specifically-worded tweet hours after the score went final.
“Dak Prescott gave away the ball twice in the narrow loss to the 49ers, in a matchup the Cowboys had a chance to win if they didn’t generate self-inflicted words,” the tweet read, with a link to a game recap.
