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.”

Dallas fans seemed to be largely in agreement with Dak Prescott. It was a terrible end to a terrific season. Further review reveals that the officials didn’t determine the outcome of the game. It was poor clock management and field awareness that led to the Cowboy’s downfall.
