The Dallas Cowboys took a ton of flak for their collapse against the San Francisco 49ers. Dak Prescott, in particular, bore a lot of the brunt for the Cowboys' first-round playoff exit, and it seems that those close to him have finally had enough of the hate. Prescott's brother, Tad Prescott, took to Twitter to defend his brother, while also firing some strays in the direction of Dez Bryant and Aaron Rodgers.

Tad was upset about the criticism his brother faced, firing off a comparison between Dak's performance in the NFC Wild Card and that of Aaron Rodgers in the NFC Divisional Round. Both quarterbacks struggled in the game on their home field, yet Tad is wondering why Rodgers still gets considered as an MVP candidate while Dak struggles to be considered the Cowboys' franchise quarterback.

Of course, supplying statistics from one game doesn't really prove much of a point, not to mention that Prescott's inability to get a play off in the waning moments of the game is one of the key reasons the Cowboys lost the game, or at the very least were denied the chance to win.

Prescott didn't stop with his criticism of Rodgers, however. He continued on to throw Dez Bryant under the bus, ripping into the former wide receiver for his failure to win key games alongside ex-Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

The two went back and forth for a short while, with Prescott calling Bryant a clown and suggesting that the former Cowboy was two-faced for being critical of Dak. Tad had clearly seen enough slander involving his brother, but perhaps he took things a bit far when calling out Bryant over what seemed to be a reasonable take on the Cowboys' loss.
