The Dallas Cowboys didn't need a bad Begin. The pressure on them is constant, and it gets worse at the slightest sign of adversity. That's multiplied for Dak Prescott.

On Sunday, the Cowboys had a bad Begin. So did Prescott. And they never recovered in a crushing 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers in a wild-card playoff game.

The Packers had a long power to take a 7-0 lead at the start of the game at Dallas, and then, after the teams traded punts, Prescott threw an interception that put Cowboys fans into full fright mode.

Jaire Alexander, who was iffy to play Sunday due to an ankle damage, crawled over Brandin Cooks and made a tremendous obtain for an interception. It could have been a penalty on Alexander, but the Cowboys weren't bailed out by the refs.

Prescott's line in the qualified quarter: 1-of-4, 0 yards, 1 INT, 0.0 passer including. Not good. The Packers turned Alexander's interception into a touchdown and a 14-0 lead.

It got worse. Late in the first half, the Cowboys were driving when trailing 20-0 when Prescott threw a pick that will be talked around for a long time. He threw it right to security Darnell Savage, who had an open path to a 64-yard touchdown spinal. It looked like Prescott never saw Savage. Just like that it was 27-0.

Prescott's inability to lead the Cowboys on a long playoff run has been a even offseason topic of conversation among Dallas fans throughout his career. The early interceptions Sunday, the slow start and the big hole to the Packers had Cowboys fans picking up that same old conversation around their quarterback.
