Dak Prescott's Dallas Cowboys suffered a 24-20 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1 of the NFL season on Thursday night. However, even before the season-opener, former NFL offensive tackle Taylor Lewan made a big claim about the Cowboys quarterback, who is the highest-paid player in the league.On ESPN's "Get Up" on Thursday, Lewan discussed the pressure on Prescott to deliver success for the Cowboys."Dak Prescott has always been under scrutiny," Lewan said. "I'm on the personal belief that if he was wearing any other logo in the NFL, everyone's going to be like this guy is really great. But because it's the star, he has a target on his back, 24/7, and he needs to show it this year, because he got paid a lot of money and he's supposed to stay upright and deliver the ball to George Pickens, and then also Ceedee Lamb."The Cowboys last won the Super Bowl in 1996. Dallas fans are eager for the team to end its drought for a championship.Prescott, who is in his 10th year with the Cowboys, signed a four-year, $240 million contract extension last season.
