Noah Brown wouldn’t speak after the game.

He was too disappointed, too distraught to talk to the media and that’s understandable.

It was the Browns’ dropped pass from quarterback Dak Prescott that flipped through the air and into the hands of Jacksonville Jaguars safety Rayshawn Jenkins that proved to be the pivotal moment in the Cowboys’ 40-34 loss. of Dallas in overtime.

Jenkins ran intact into the end zone for the starting score and the dejected Cowboys went home with a devastating loss, snapping a four-game winning streak and dashing their hopes of challenging for the NFC East title.

Prescott spoke after the game and answered questions about the game. It goes into his register as an interception, while punctuating a sore point for the quarterback and his critics, who point to his seven picks in the last four games as a sign of his vulnerability.

Not all were Prescott’s fault. And that was certainly the case in overtime on Sunday. Coach Mike McCarthy said Prescott couldn’t have placed the ball better for Brown.

Brown declined to speak to reporters after the game, but took to social media on his Instagram Story and said, “It’s on me. No other way to spin it. My chin still up. My chest still sticking out.

He finally answered questions about what happened on Tuesday and continued to take full responsibility for the drop.

I think I misjudged it a bit, Brown said. I didn’t see the ball come out of Daks hands, which is completely normal, doesn’t always happen. The moment I saw it, I wasn’t quite where I could reach it. It hit my hand, hit my arm and bounced back.

It’s a game 10 times out of 10 that I expect to do and have to do. There is no excuse for this.
