The Dallas Cowboys tried their hand at a specific quarterback sneak in the second quarter against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday, October 16.

However, like many other teams, they couldn't quite replicate the success the Philadelphia Eagles achieved with their renowned Tush Push play in fourth-and-short or goal-to-go situations.

Quarterback Dak Prescott humorously commented on the team's failed attempt on the play that has drawn scrutiny around the league.

"They didn't push my tush enough," the 30-year-old said.

The Eagles regularly execute the clever play, wherein the offensive line pushes the quarterback forward from behind to gain a few extra yards. The distinctive method used in this strategy has earned it the nickname "Tush Push."

With just over two minutes left in the first half, the Cowboys attempted the Tush Push on fourth-and-one. However, the Chargers effectively countered the move, preventing the two-time Pro Bowl selection from gaining ground and causing a turnover on downs.

Despite the failed try, the Cowboys managed to snag the game away from the Chargers, 20-17, at the SoFi Stadium to improve to 4-2 for the season.

Dak Prescott bounces back

Prescott bounced back from his three-interception performance in Week 5 against the 49ers by delivering a solid showing against the Chargers.

The 2022 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Awardee completed 21 of 30 passes for 272 yards, notching one touchdown and no interceptions.

Additionally, he rushed seven times for 40 yards and scored another touchdown.
