The Dallas Cowboys have been unstoppable on their 10-game winning streak, with the performance of rookie Dak Prescott playing a significant factor.
When Tony Romo went down in the preseason, the team turned to Prescott after an impressive camp. They expressed confidence in the Mississippi State product, but nobody expected him to play at this high of level so quickly.
Count owner Jerry Jones among Prescott's endeared supporters. After the Thanksgiving victory over the Redskins, Jones could no longer handle his excitement.
In particular, an 18-yard run where Dak delivered a powerful stiff-arm to Donte Whitner prompted this unusual statement, via Brandon George of The Dallas Morning News:
“Well I'll say this, not only are you see him gaining when they got that pursuit coming after him, you see him run by a secondary player and then when he puts that stiff-arm [out] you quit worrying about him a little bit,” Jones said. “He's the daddy when he does that.”
