Dak Prescott Apologizes to NFL Officials After Blaming Them for 49ers Loss: ‘I Hold the NFL Officials in the Highest Regard’

It is never a smart thing to call out the NFL officials. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott seems to have realized his mistake. The referees in the NFL are highly trained professionals. They know each and every inch of the game. Their decisions are always accurate. Some people may not agree with them, but the officials know what they are doing. 

After an upset 23-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Prescott also bashed the referees and called out their decisions. Maybe it was in the heat of the moment, but the Cowboys’ QB seems to have come to his senses.

Some say they aimed it at the players, while others argued it was for the officials. During the post-match interview, Dak Prescott said that it was sad how the fans threw rubbish on the field. But he also claimed that it was for the officials. He said, “Credit to them”.

In the dying moments of the game, Dallas was on the attack. Dak Prescott was trying to make a play to tie the score. He was rushing with the ball. With around 7 seconds left on the clock, Prescott did not give the referee the ball. It did not stop the time, and the Cowboys lost the opportunity to make one last play.
