Deion Sanders recently admitted he doesn't watch too many NFL games these days. However, he tuned in to catch his two former teams in action this week. 

The Dallas Cowboys took a brutal 42-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. It sparked comments from Coach Prime during a taped appearance of the CW's Inside the NFL with Chad Johnson and Ryan Clark. Sanders said he 'felt bad' for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and questioned the rest of the team's work ethic.

"I felt bad for Dak, I really did. I felt bad for Dak because I think Dak is better than that," Sanders said.

"The Cowboys have guys that are supposed to be Dogs," said Sanders. "Do you remember when we went to school and the teacher called your name and you said 'here,' I need you to say 'here.'' Say something."

Prescott, the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year, has needed additional help around him as the Cowboys have lost two of the past three games. They face another pivitol matchup with Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football this week. 

Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are preparing for Stanford this week. A Friday the 13th Pac-12 After Dark special at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN.
