What happened: Dak Prescott said he ramps up his preparation in the week after a loss, and that is the approach he is taking again after Dallas opened 2026 with a defeat. The early spot matters for the Cowboys, who have not started a season 0-2 since 2010.

Why it matters: Prescott's Week 1 record in Dallas has drawn attention before, and a second straight loss would deepen that focus immediately. It would also reopen memories of the franchise's last 0-2 start, the season Jerry Jones made his only in-season coaching change.

By the numbers: Prescott is 6-0 following a Week 1 loss, according to the stat cited alongside his comments. Dallas has not opened 0-2 since 2010, when Wade Phillips was fired after a 1-7 start.

What to watch: The next read is whether Prescott's reset shows up in Dallas' Week 2 response. Another loss would hand the Cowboys their first 0-2 start in 16 years.
