Ah yes, now they are holding back anc they are being ‘conservatives or it’s Moore’s fault, not Dak and the OC hasn’t adjusted for Dak’s ‘slump’. They also came out in hurry-up against the Cardinals, but Dak was throwing dude everywhere.

Dak made his career of defenses selling out to stop the run and they no longer are doing it, because they don’t have to. They are making Dak beat them with his arm and he’s being exposed.
Prescott was as good as could be in the first half of the game. It was noticeable that he was using a hurry-up tempo for much of the time, a tactic that was previously suggested to get Prescott more in-sync. Whatever was the cause, Prescott sizzled. He was 28 of 39 for 330 yards and four touchdowns. His passer rating was 131.4. Almost all of that was in the first half of the game.

Teams look like they are satisfied with rushing four, and sometimes they create pressure and sometimes they don’t. But what they are doing is sitting back and letting the linebackers fill the holes if it’s a run, or dropping into shallow zone coverage if they see pass. That may be one reason the running game has slowed, teams are loading up the interior with linebackers/safeties, and using their ends to turn off-tackle runs back inside.
Using zone coverage in addition to not blitzing also seems to be a key factor. Check out these stats from CBS Sports.
