Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott isn't all that concerned with public perception as he prepares to try to lead his team to victory in Saturday's NFC Wild Card matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Prescott has certainly had his critics, but he's delivered in a big way down the stretch this season in helping the Cowboys turn things around after a 3-5 start.

He'll now get an opportunity to take things a step further by attempting to lead Dallas to its first Super Bowl since 1995, and that journey will begin with the game against Seattle this weekend.

As for how those on the outside view his play, Prescott doesn't seem to be worried about that.

Here's what Prescott had to say about how he's embraced by the public, courtesy of David Moore of the Dallas Morning News:

Dak Prescott on public perception: “I don’t care how people necessarily embrace me,” he said. “This is my job & I’m in it & I’m going to make the most of it regardless. It’s not my duty or my job to go out there & prove to people this or that.” The exception: Cowboys locker room.

Prescott threw for 3,885 yards and 22 touchdowns during the regular season while also adding 305 rushing yards and six scores.

Along with running back Ekeziel Elliott and wide receiver Amari Cooper, the Cowboys have a talented group of playmakers that could put together a run in the postseason.

Dallas will need Prescott at his best for that to happen, and as he has proven at various points during his career, he has the skills to help the Cowboys find plenty of scoring on offense.
