Story summary

Dak Prescott glared at what appeared to be a stadium employee after Dallas Cowboys lost 24-16 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Thursday night game on October 5, 2023. The employee allegedly called the loss "embarrassing," prompting an exchange as Prescott walked back to the locker room post-game. Despite his reaction, Prescott told reporters that while he understood criticism, the individual was not clear about their role within the stadium or if they were a valet driver. The Buccaneers had undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels starting in place of the injured starter, and this was his second career start on short notice.

🔮 They’re both rated pretty much even in terms of DVOA, coming in at No. 17 in DVOA (No. 11 on offense, No. 25 on defense), while the Packers are No. 18 (No. 23 on offense and No. 4 on defense). So no, Micah Parsons is not active, but that really isn’t stopping them. Had Josh Jacobs not returned for the Packers, I’d be all in on the Over, and likely would have had some bets targeting the Over on both Christian Watson and Matthew Golden’s receiving yards. I’m still bullish on them overall, but Jacobs’ return allows Green Bay the option to run the ball much more.
