What happened: Dak Prescott threw an interception while attempting to discard the ball out of bounds, compounding a difficult start. George Pickens also missed a major opportunity, dropping an 80-yard deep ball for his second drop of the contest.

Why it matters: The consecutive miscues stalled early momentum and erased potential scoring drives. The drops are uncharacteristic for the same Pickens who delivered an All-Pro season following his high-profile trade.

What to watch: The offense must eliminate unforced errors and reestablish timing in the passing game.
