Cowboys Corner: Lost season without Dak Prescott? Trey Lance time? Playoffs?!

The Cowboys have only finished with a losing record three times in the last 15 years .

Dak Prescott is out for at least four games with injury.

The Cowboys didn't do anything during the trade deadline to improve their run defense.

They got Jonathan Mingo , a nice receiver who hasn't done much in his year-and-a-half in the league.

Cowboys fans would prefer a top-10 draft pick than a wild-card playoff berth.

Derrick Henry wouldn't have been a cure-all for the Cowboys this season .

Trey Lance should get meaningful snaps while Dak Prescott is out, says Mike Downey .

Downey: Derrick Henry would have been better off if he'd been on the roster all year .

The object of the next four weeks (assuming that's the extent of Prescott 's absence) is to survive and hope they can pull out a couple of wins and then maybe Prescott can return and pull off a miracle.

The reviews weren't exactly glowing from his preseason action, and it would be nice if the Cowboys could get a real look at him before deciding whether to re-sign him next season .
