Dak Prescott makes feelings known on Cowboys vs. Packers Week 4 showdown resulting in a tie

Dak Prescott admitted that the Dallas Cowboys’ 40-40 draw with Green Bay left him with mixed emotions despite showcasing some of his best football.

The quarterback threw for 319 yards and four touchdowns on 31 of 40 passes without a turnover in Sunday’s overtime clash at AT&T Stadium. It was his first tie in 10 NFL seasons.

"You don't play the game for ties," Prescott said, via ESPN. "I don't care about the stats, the ups and downs, the ebbs and flows.

"I just care about the end result and the win. When you don't get that right now, it's tough for me. In 10 years, it's the first tie I've been a part of. It's hard to wrap my head around it because I know I'd feel a lot worse if it was a loss. But I'm not satisfied. Not that I would be if we'd won. But it's a weird feeling."

How unfulfilling is the tie? “Very,” Dak Prescott said. “You don’t play the game for ties.”

The game was Dallas’ first deadlock since 1969, but the night carried significance for Prescott in the record book. He moved past Hall of Famer Troy Aikman for most completions in franchise history. Prescott also notched his 10th career game with at least 300 yards and three touchdown passes without an interception, surpassing Tony Romo.

The Dallas Cowboys defense allowed the Green Bay Packers to rally late and convert a tying field goal in the final second of overtime. However, Dak Prescott declined to lay the blame on that side of the ball. He instead pointed to missed chances by the offense, particularly in the red zone after reaching the Green Bay 5-yard line in overtime.

"I believe in my defense," Prescott said after the game, via ESPN. "This game, yeah I can be mad about the one second on the clock, I can be mad that they drove the ball, but at the end of the day I'm pissed that we didn't score in the red zone. We had an opportunity to score in the red zone."

Prescott helped spark two late scoring drives in regulation. This included a fourth-down conversion to George Pickens that set up a Javonte Williams touchdown, and a 28-yard strike to Pickens in the final minute. He rolled away from pressure to find Jalen Tolbert for 34 yards in the extra period, but Dallas managed only a field goal. Green Bay matched it before time expired.

Working without injured wideout CeeDee Lamb, Dak spread the ball to eight different receivers and absorbed just one sack. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said after the game that the performance ranked among Prescott’s finest.
