Dak Prescott had NSFW message for Cowboys before game-winning TD vs Texans

Thanks largely to a wonky performance from Dak Prescott, the Dallas Cowboys flirted with disaster against the Texans in Week 14.

When the Cowboys needed him most late in the fourth quarter, though, Prescott was absolute nails on the game-winning 98-yard drive.

Prescott accounted for 96 of those 98 yards, 81 of which came through the air, to go with just one incompletion. His back-to-back throws to Noah Brown and Dalton Schultz were the definition of needle-threading, and are a testament to how locked in he was on the drive.

The win marked the 11th fourth-quarter comeback and 18th game-winning drive of Prescott’s career. Of course, Dak never should’ve needed to play hero against the Texans to begin with, and it was ultimately his interceptions and inability to adjust to Houston’s game plan that put Dallas behind the eight ball.

Still, that doesn’t take away from the impressiveness of the game-winning drive … which was probably inevitable in hindsight after you watch the NSFW message the quarterback had for his teammates before the game-winning score.

Cowboys’ Dak Prescott had NSFW message for teammates during game-winning drive vs Texans.

Prescott leading vocally is no surprise. Speaking strictly in terms of on-field intangibles, Dak checks every box you’d want from a quarterback. That said, was anyone else a little intimidated watching this clip?

Much like the missiles to Brown and Schultz on the final drive, Prescott’s fiery message to his teammates speaks to how dialed in he was in the moment. He wasn’t leaving AT&T Stadium with a loss … not after the defense gave him a shot at redemption with their goal line stand to keep the Cowboys’ hopes alive.

While the win helped Dallas keep pace with the Eagles in the NFC East, it didn’t fully distract from Prescott’s newly-developed interception habit. After throwing two picks against the Texans, including a back-breaker in the fourth quarter, Prescott now has nine in eight games played. Incredibly, five of those have come in the last three games.

The two-time Pro Bowler understands he needs to take better care of the football if the Cowboys are to reach their ultimate goal.

"“I don’t like throwing interceptions,” Prescott said after the win, via Cowboys.com “That’s what bothers me. It has nothing to do with what other people say or how other people feel. It’s something that I’ve never enjoyed, never liked, never had that accepted as a standard for myself.”"

Couldn’t ask for a better response from QB1.

Assuming Prescott makes the necessary adjustments to cut down on the turnovers, the Cowboys will be a tough out come playoff time.

And the event Dallas is in a similar position in the fourth quarter again this season — regular season or otherwise — you can count on Dak having another burning message for his teammates, though we’re not so sure anything can top Sunday’s masterpiece.
