Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys improved to 2-2 on the season on Sunday.
The Cowboys rallied from a double-digit second half deficit to take down the Houston Texans on the road. The Cowboys needed that win – desperately – and they got it, thanks to a huge game from Prescott.
“There’s nothing like winning,” Prescott said postgame. “I want to say it fixes all the problems, but it doesn’t. It makes you feel good at least for a day or so. But at this point, we got to turn the page and get ready for Thursday. We can’t sit here and have some winning hangover so early in the season.”
“It’s no different than last week’s loss, when I told you guys we got to turn the page and make sure we come out and perform like we want to in Houston. We didn’t start that way, but we got it going in the second half on offense particularly. Did enough, and just shows the resilience of this team to win. So now it’s about stacking these wins with great momentum and just belief in the team that we’ve created.”

Throughout the season, Prescott and many of his teammates, including his head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, have been open about their religious views.
Prescott defended his stance and his behavior to reporters during the postgame press conference.
The Cowboys appear to be expressing their religious faith more than ever before.
“Absolutely. I think credit ‘Schotty’ [Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer] and his leadership and the way that he’s opened that up. That’s who he is. That’s who I am. That’s who a lot of the guys on our team are and trying to be contagious and understand we’re all here because of God and we’re all here to serve a greater purpose. That’s my point about opening your perspective up when things happen, win, lose, or draw, what’s the purpose?” he said postgame.
“What does God have meaning for this? We may not always have the answers for it but we know what God wants us to do in our response and that’s be the best versions of ourselves, serving Him, serving others and doing it with just pure love. I’m thankful for this team. We’ve got great chaplains in Jonathan and Dr. Evans and so they’re helping lead that cause and that’s life. I’ve been through so much in my life. God’s always been the reason and, yeah. Who I fall back on and my refuge, as I say, I can’t thank Him enough and never will be able to thank Him enough and just to see that transcend throughout our team, starting with our head coach is special. It’s something that we take pride in. At the end of the day, it’s about giving Him the glory. From that, good things will come, all great things will come, so thankful for that.”
The Cowboys will take on the Bucs in Week 5.
