The NBRA condemns the comments made by the man. He should know better. We want the NFL to take action to discourage this behavior in the future.

On social media Tuesday night, Prescott offered a response.

There is a person named Dak Prescott who is also known as dak.

I regret making comments about the officials after the game.

My words were uncalled for and unfair because I was caught up in the emotion of the disappointing loss.

The Cowboys lost 23-17 to the officials who made several controversial plays. Fans were throwing bottles and other debris at the field after the game.

When asked about the fans throwing things at the players, he initially called them a bunch of psychos. The quarterback said "credit to them, then" after he was told they might have been aiming at the officials.

The official was unable to spot the ball in time for the Cowboys to run another play. Dallas was eliminated from the playoffs after the clock expired.

The ball was spotted correctly in the controversial game-ending play.
The Cowboys were called for 14 penalties in the loss, which likely fueled the fire among fans and players.

It is regrettable that he seems to condone the violent behavior against the officials. The NBA officials are aware of what could be a dangerous situation if it were to happen again.
