![]() Maher finally converted on his fifth attempt after Coach Mike McCarthy decided against sending him out to try a field goal from roughly the same distance as a PAT. ![]() That’s all that really matters to me, and just stay focused on what I can do.”Ībout the only thing that went wrong for the Cowboys was kicker Brett Maher missing his first four extra points, becoming the first player in NFL history to miss that many in a game. “Got a great supporting cast in my team, people that believe in me. Made sure I was conscious of what I put in my own head,” Prescott added. “Simply just didn’t listen to anybody else’s opinions, anybody else’s thoughts. “Didn’t listen,” Prescott said about all the talk about the Cowboys not being ready for the playoffs. They were also coming off a poor performance in a lopsided loss to Washington in their regular-season finale. The Cowboys had dropped eight straight playoff games away from home since winning the NFC championship game in San Francisco on Jan. “Kind of typical of the way we played all season.” “Not the way we wanted to end it,” said Brady, who, as he did through much of the season, struggled to get anything going without ample protection or a ground game. Prescott completed 25 of 33 passes for 305 yards and played turnover-free ball for the first time in eight games as the Cowboys (13-5) dominated the listless Bucs (8-10) in what might turn out to be Brady’s last game in a Tampa Bay (or any other) uniform. ![]() But the way he handles it, the way he comes back every time and shows who he truly is, it’s a credit to the work he puts in. I think the criticism is unfair and unjust sometimes. “It just shows he’s resilient,” Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons said. Prescott played his best game in weeks, throwing for four touchdowns and running for another to answer critics of “America’s Team” with a 31-14 rout of Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an NFC wild-card playoff game on Monday night. So much for notion that Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys might not be up to the challenge of beating Tom Brady.
