The USWNT is coming off a disappointing performance in the Women’s World Cup, losing in the round of 16 for the team’s earliest ever loss in the tournament. Now, weeks after the loss to Sweden, the USWNT is still feeling its impact.

In seven years with quarterback Dak Prescott, the Cowboys have been solid more often that not. Dallas is the owner of a 13–3 season (2016), two 12–5 seasons (2021–22) and a 10–6 season (’18), all years in which the team collected postseason berths.
