Dak Prescott shares his thoughts on Brian Schottenheimer after winning the game against the Jets

In the post-game press conference, the quarterback came forward to talk about the team's growth under Brian Schottenheimer this season.

Prescott heaped praise on the Cowboys coach's mentality, and also appreciated his sense of discipline and his drive to win.

"I mean that's just him being him," Prescott said. "He's a standup guy who approaches each day the same, true to who he is. Win, loss, draw, whatever it may be, you're going to get the same Schotty. And I think that's something that makes it easy to follow ... I appreciate a guy who takes heavy accountability."

"Just incredible, the way he approaches this game each and every day. And when you get to Sundays or whatever the game day is, he talks about playing free and playing coaching and being loose, and he's the epitome of that. If you want to see somebody who's enjoying the moment, it's Schotty."

The Cowboys will face the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 12 at Bank of America Stadium. The game will be broadcast on FOX at 1:00 pm ET.
