### Quarterback Dak Prescott Injured as Cowboys Fall to Falcons

In a challenging game against the Atlanta Falcons, the Dallas Cowboys faced a significant setback as their starting quarterback, Dak Prescott, was forced to leave the match due to a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter. Backup quarterback Cooper Rush stepped in to take over for Prescott.

Throughout the game, Prescott contributed with notable performances, rushing three times for 30 yards. However, a fourth scramble was nullified due to a holding penalty, and he managed two more rushes before his exit. Additionally, Prescott's throwing hand swelled early in the final quarter, with medical staff attending to a wound at the base of his right pinky finger.

Despite his injury, Prescott showed his determination, completing 18 of 24 passes for a total of 133 yards and a touchdown. His commendable 30 rushing yards were also a highlight before he was sidelined.

As Cooper Rush took over, the Cowboys were trailing 27-13. The game became even more challenging for the team when wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was also ruled questionable to return, following a late shoulder injury.

The Cowboys' resilience will be put to the test in the coming weeks as they cope with these setbacks and aim to turn their fortunes around.
