Dallas Cowboys fans will love what Dak Prescott just said!
To Dallas Cowboys second-year quarterback Dak Prescott the only thing that matters is winning the last game of the season, the Super Bowl.
For anyone thinking Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Dak Prescott is resting on his laurels this offseason, basking in the accolades he garnered last year, think again. But who would blame him if he did? The 23-year just posted one of the greatest rookie seasons by a quarterback in NFL history.
Prescott, along with fellow rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott, led the Cowboys to the second best record in the NFL last season at 13-3. The only team better? The 14-2 New England Patriots, whom eventually won the Super Bowl last season.
And to Prescott, the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year, nothing else matters but winning the last game of the season. And last year, that was the Patriots. This year, it could be Dallas.
"“To me, a season is only qualified as a win if you win that last game. That’s what the Patriots were. They were the one winners of this past season,” Prescott told Pro Football Talk analyst Mike Florio on PFT Live on Wednesday. “For me, it was a good start. For the team, it was a good start with young guys coming in, but it’s not where we want to be. We want to be playing in that last game of the season.”"
One of the great things about Prescott is his intangibles. A leader on and off-the-field, the 23-year old knows all the right things to say and he possess a killer work ethic to boot. Fans can be assured that Dak will do everything he possibly can to bring a Lombardi Trophy back to Dallas.

For Dak Prescott, accomplishing what was once unthinkable is old hat. For a late fourth round selection who was likely fourth on the depth chart at some point last offseason to dethrone veteran quarterback Tony Romo and take the reins of America’s Team during his rookie year, nothing likely seems impossible. And Prescott’s next goal is to bring Cowboys fans a Super Bowl title.
