Beasley blasts reporter for shot at Prescott

Andrew Joseph | For The Win

The Atlanta Falcons dominated the Cowboys on Sunday without Ezekiel Elliott. It was a loss that exposed critical issues for the Cowboys, but one Philadelphia reporter somehow watched that game and concluded that the problem was Dak Prescott.

Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley was having none of that.

When Eagles sideline reporter Howard Eskin tweeted that the Falcons loss showed that Prescott was "not that special," Beasley blasted the reporter with a response of his own.

Beasley doubled down on the response even after learning that the original tweet was made by an Eagles radio reporter.

I didn't know the dude was from philly. Don't care honestly. Nobody is about to discredit my quarterback who has done nothin but ball since he stepped through the door. — Cole Beasley (@Bease11) November 13, 2017

Prescott was 20 of 30 in the game for just 176 yards and a rushing touchdown, but it's unfair to put that loss on Prescott. The Cowboys were without All-Pro left tackle Tyron Smith, and his replacement, Chaz Green, put forth one of the worst efforts we'll see all season. The Falcons sacked Prescott eight times and six of those sacks were made by Adrian Clayborn.

Sure, the absence of Elliott hurts the Cowboys, but Dallas has much bigger problems.
