The Dallas Cowboys’ struggles continued under the Sunday Night Football lights, with a 30-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers exposing familiar weaknesses. The defeat has left fans exasperated, but they weren’t alone this time. An NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner, known for his offensive prowess, joined the chorus of critics, publicly expressing frustration with the team’s performance.
In a sharp critique shared on social media, Warner highlighted flaws in the Cowboys’ play design, execution, and quarterback Dak Prescott’s performance. “Man, this Cowboys tape is a tough watch again… play design, details/execution (bc can’t be sure which it is), Dak not playing well, etc… it would be so frustrating watching that as an O!!!” he wrote, echoing the concerns of loyal Cowboys fans.
Dak Prescott now has 2 interceptions in 3-straight games. He called the second INT against the 49ers a “boneheaded” play. Wishes he either threw it away or threw it harder

At halftime, Dallas seemed in control with a 10-6 lead. But the third quarter saw the Cowboys unravel, allowing 21 points as San Francisco raced ahead to 27-10. Dallas made a push late in the game, narrowing the score to six points, but the comeback fell flat on their final drive, with Prescott’s fourth-down pass to Jalen Brooks falling incomplete. The 49ers took over and ran out the clock, handing Dallas their first road loss of the season.
This defeat marks Dallas’ fourth straight loss to San Francisco, including two postseason exits, fueling fans’ frustration with their team’s consistency and competitiveness. With the season slipping, the Hall of Famer’s comments serve as a strong reminder: without fast changes, the Cowboys may see their season hopes fade further.
