But, yeah, I was thinking more about the touchdown, so it didn’t hurt that much obviously when you score and win the game. “
Prescott reacts to beat Belichick
The Cowboys entered Sunday’s game without beating the Patriots in six games since 1996 and had never beaten Bill Belichick since he took over the team in 2000. That streak ended with authority.
Not only was Prescott able to lead his team to victory, it was also the most yards a New England defense conceded in the Belichick era, beating Hall of Famers like Peyton Manning and Warren Moon, among others.
“Honestly, I didn’t know I had thrown for that many yards until [Ezekiel Elliott] he told me in the dressing room, ”he confessed via ESPN. “It’s not about me. It’s about the entire team. It is about the practice we do together. It’s the way we do things in practice, the way we put together our team. I’m just a product, I guess, on statistics, but it’s also about not being selfish. It is about the communication we have and how those on the front are protecting and how receptors are opened. They make my job easy for me. “
