Dak Prescott Hit With Hefty Punishment Following Referee Comments

January 21, 2022

The NFL wasn't impressed with Dak Prescott.

Dak Prescott has been under fire this past week following comments he made after the Dallas Cowboys lost to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday evening. Prescott and the Cowboys were driving late in the game, when one of the referees ended up running into Dak, therefore delaying the process of getting one last play off. In the end, the Cowboys were not able to beat the clock, and they lost in a heartbreaking fashion.

In the comments below, Dak ended up co-signing fans who threw debris at the officiating crew. It was fairly out of character for Dak, and it eventually led to an apology on Twitter, where he said: "I deeply regret the comments I made regarding the officials after the game on Sunday. I was caught up in the emotion of a disappointing loss and my words were uncalled for and unfair. I hold the NFL Officials in the highest regard and have always respected their professionalism and the difficulty of their jobs. The safety of everyone who attends a game or participates on the field of a sporting event is a very serious matter. That was a mistake on my behalf, and I am sorry."
