Cowboys QB Dak Prescott: “The fans felt the same way as us. I guess that’s why the refs took off and got out of there so fast. I think everybody is upset with the way this thing played out.” https://t.co/39p4x4itkE pic.twitter.com/bj1nHCuIfu

Longtime Cowboys beat writers agreed that those comments are a bad look for Prescott.
Dak Prescott didn’t immediately regret his comment. He will in time. That was a bad look.
Being upset with the officiating is perfectly fine. Saying “good for them, then” about fans throwing beer bottles at officials is another thing entirely, and is patently inappropriate.
