Dak Prescott cleared the air about the tough hit he absorbed during the Dallas Cowboys' 23-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.
Prescott has been playing in the NFL since 2016, going through his 11th season with the Cowboys. He shines as one of the best quarterbacks in the league, looking to get Dallas back into serious playoff contention.
However, Dallas is off to a poor start in the 2026 campaign, going 2-4 in its first six games. They were unable to have the upper hand against Green Bay, underperforming on both sides of the ball.
Prescott also dealt with physical toughness from Green Bay defenders. He even took a tough hit during the game that required him to regain his breath before throwing an interception. The star quarterback reflected on that moment after the game, per reporter Jon Machota.
