The Day Dak Prescott Became A Superstar 

This was one of the best games of football I’ve ever watched for both sides

Fun Fact: Dak was actually the 3rd string QB in the start of 2016... Guess who was the 2nd String QB.... is OC Kellen Moore. Moore got injured as well. Which moved Dak to 1st string.

Remember watching this game and you just knew Dak was gonna be special

The most memorable part for me was how gracious Tony Romo was in accepting the fact that he had lost his starting position as QB. He said football was the ultimate in “meritocracy”. No one had given Dak Prescott the role of starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys. Dak Prescott had earned it.

What a day that was. It was also one of Zeke's best games of his career and Dez's father had just passed away that week so Dez dedicated that game and his TD to his father. This game was an instant classic.

This video deserves more attention so people can realize how amazing Dak is

I’m a Cowboys fan and i STILL dont kno how Dak and Zeke (rookies) could string so many wins (13-3) 🤠

Daks rookie season has gone by so fast

Dak was special to watch from the first pre-season game I saw. Also I wanted to point out Dak hasn't had a losing season. 8-8 is not a losing season.

Man I miss watching that season... I feel old I graduated in 2016 and time is rolling!🕰

When he side stepped the rush and launched that bih to Dez. That was the moment that solidified it for me. Coming a from Mississippi state fan, he was already a superstar and still legend.

I remember this game well. Best regular season game I had seen in a looooooong time.

For me. It was in Green Bay. Dak didn’t have a #1. Dez was out. Going to Green Bay without a number one and he did that?!? That’s special.

I got to be at this game, first cowboys game I ever saw and I’ll never forget it for sure, still remember all the shocked steeler fans faces when zeke got the game winning td😂

I remember this game. Despite getting drunk and cheering all night until the coyotes howled back at me. That's Cowboys football. This year is going to be something to remember as well.

I actually thought when he beat the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay just like he did Pittsburgh beating them in Pittsburgh😎👍🏿👌🏿⭐️

As a Cowboy fan, I always felt the vibe of an ELITE QB and this man still continues to awe me, favorite player of all time by far

I was at this game! It was so amazing! Great game. I’m a Dallas fan and Dads a Steelers Fan. Zeke ran right at me for the game winner.

As a eagles fan I always respected his play Dudes a baller, I read into his story with his brother and mother i lost older my brother to a car crash when I was 12 and it was hard on all of us my siblings and parents. It hit my mom the hardest me and my mom are really close and I couldn’t imagine losing her too. I’ll always be a fan of dak as a person and a football player doesn’t matter what team he’s on.

Wish we had more uploads but assume you've been busy! Regardless always look forward to your videos

Cowboys and steelers always have classic shootouts like this. Like when Romo beat big Ben in 0T in 2012. And to go further back to the 70's. Biggest NFC-AFC rivalry I've seen

who misses prime dez bryant?

Knew so many Cowboys fans who cursed his name when Romo got swapped. Now he’s definitely showing he can grow and that’s what it takes to be the best.

I remember this season like yesterday I love Dak But I still believe Romo wins the Superbowl that year if he started the playoffs games Dak started slow that game against the Packers, I give him credit he brought us back with a chance to win But I believe Romo wins that game

The day Dak beat my Longhorns was the day I knew he would start in the NFL and thank God he got drafted to the Cowboys.

Dak has never had a losing season. You can’t count the year he got hurt.

The moment he took over for romo i knew it was gonna be a journey. I compared him to vick because he ran and i wasn't familiar with many running quarterbacks. That was the moment I was a dak fan and im extremely proud of all his work. I truly wish him the best, we need more people like him in this world.

Had an amazing time watching this game with my dad and brothers

Still remember watching this game like yesterday. Up and down on this crazy game but never thought my team will win it at end. 2016 season was special for my team and Dak too

As an Eagles fan, I can’t help but like Dak. Loved the player in college especially. He’s a very good QB and leader, you can just tell by his teammates. Wish we had someone like this

I’ll never forget this game. It was the throw to Dez for the TD that sold it. Romo was done. Loved tony he deserved a ring.

I’ve always rooted for this man to get paid and continue to get better in the NFL. When everyone was saying he was nothing without a running game. When people said we should trade/cut him. I trusted what I saw and heard from this man. He’s a leader and he continued to get better after his second year. Dak may not have been the most talented, fastest, or smartest, but he worked hard and stayed true to himself. Now he’s an elite QB who came back from two ankle surgeries better than he was before. Dak continued to play hard till he was injured because he was trying to prove his worth. He didn’t want to settle for less but he knew he couldn’t hold out the way Zeke did. The emotion he let out while being carted off the field was a culmination of his determination to prove himself and lead his team to the playoffs. It hit him that he may have worked too hard and blew his opportunity. The fans stood up for him, the league stood up for him, his teammates stood up for him, and Jerry heard them and payed the man. Now his only goal is to do what he set out to do his rookie year. With Kellen Moore, Dan Quinn, and yes even Mike McCarthy, Dallas has a much better coaching staff to guide Dak through the playoffs. Who knows how far they will make it. I’m just excited to see who ends up lined up across from them Jan. 22.

Rookie of the year dak , i miss 2016 🥺

You can tell how much work went into this! Great video!

I was in Hawaii with my wife on vacation when this game was played we watched the end at a bar. Pittsburgh scored late on the "Marino fake spike play" and I thought it was over. I went to the restroom and by the time I walked out Zeke was running into the end zone again. Let's get one thing correct here. This was the defining game for the Dak-Zeke team, but the Cowboys have had numerous franchise defining games all the way back to the early 1960s. By the way, the Cowboys' first win in franchise history was against the Steelers in 1961. These two have been in so many big games against each other, including three Super Bowls.

This game was nuts. Seriously one of my all time favorites

Looking back at it, Dak has improved soooo much

underrated channel

I remember this game vividly.

You killed it bro. This season going to be lit though can't wait. #MomentofsilenceforUvalde👏

One of the most exciting games I've ever seen! That ending was crazy!

My guy

Dak was a star at Mississippi State.. He changed that program forever!

Love D4K!! Let’s Go Cowboys!! This Monday!!! 🤠🤠🤠

Hope he has a good year this year we gonna need it

That 2016yr Steelers game and Baltimore Ravens he beat 13-3 yr. 23 Tds 3 interceptions 3,200 and some yards ( At this best as game manager) 21 Rb had over 1300 yards running a GREAT OFF LINE.

i remember this game it was amazing

I got chills watching this just because I remember this game. Insanity.

Fun Fact: Dak Prescott was MVP at the 2016 Senior Bowl and defeated a Jason Garrett-coached team. And is still defeating Jason Garrett-coached teams

Let's go cowboys Dak to the future!!!

7 years later on October 8, 2023. The Cowboys lost to the 9ers by 32 and his position with the Cowboys is questioned if he'll be back with the team next year. Dayaaaamn!

It's wild how much better his feet and lower half are today passing the ball. Definitely pre "Dak Dance" lolol

I’ll never forget this game

Great and accurate video!!!

I’m a Steelers fan this was my favorite game of the season even tho we lost still really memorable

One of the best football games ever played... 🔥🔥🔥🔥#GoCowboys

Great video!

prescott was cooking this game

We love Dak. He’s the best. Bless his heart he’s had a lot of things against him but he’s made it.

As a Cowboys fan, I think this is the only game that had me physically jumping up and down in the living room. I don't think I was seated the entire 4th quarter.

0:38 Sean Lee was playing

Dak is a gamer. He's not gonna be the best guy at practice day in day out. When it comes down to it....he gets it done

Daks progression into one of the leagues top passers is insane… man has unbelievable work ethic

I was fortunate enough to have attended this game!! DC4L!!

i still watch this game 4-5 times a year

One of the greatest regular season games of all time!

Romo as the offensive qb coach changed Daks career.

I'll never forget this game for I was so excited watching this young man try his best! I didn't know anything about him, until that day! He's proven to me that he's worthy of wearing that helmet with the big Texas ⭐

It'll be unpopular but they should have started Romo when he was good to go.

This was the day Zeke became a star. I'll never forget that game winning run down the middle, and that 75 yard screen pass

honestly, this game showed how special dak and zeke were going to be. great vid 💯

Romo would have taken that team to the Super Bowl . Period

Once I saw him perform in 2016, I knew he was special, regardless what the so-called experts was saying I knew that once he learn how to read defenses well he will be elite.

Dak was a superstar the day he was born.

TEAM DAK 💙4️⃣🤍

This was probably my favorite/ most memorable game for me from the Cowboys. But the context of this video is a little over dramatic. They had already won several games up to this point, I don’t think Dak thought this was one of his most important game of his life he was already doing extremely well. The O- line was sensational that year and Ezekiel was sensational too. This felt like that classic old school American game. Especially with the military theme. Cowboys VS Steelers that year was an amazing game and felt like a classic throwback to the Super Bowl days with Roger and Troy.

We need to see him back

Jeez I can’t also just look at how good Jason witten was man was a security blanket

I remember watching that game crazy to think it was that long ago

I saw him play his last college game in a bowl game by accident, I was just looking for something to watch, I had never heard of him before. after watching that game I started praying the Cowboys would draft him and they did! he has turned out to not only have the physical skills, but he has the brains to match! by the time he is through he might be considered up there with Troy and Roger!

Just need to add that Dak has never had a losing season with the Cowboys. Andy Dalton had a losing season with the Cowboys while Dak was out on IR.

Elliott’s 35 yard scamper to the end zone with 40 some seconds left was the first time I jumped off the couch for a huge play for Dallas since….1995…Tony Romo’s concession speech was more poetic than anything else…It was almost philosophical in nature

Dak never had a losing season while playing more then half the games. That 2020 season he got injured in week 5

Great video

That game was fucking insane. I've actually rewatched it 2 or 3 times lol but yeah Dak made plays and led us to victory. Fuckin stoked for the playoffs

I remembered how much flack i used to get about being a Dak fan... those people don't even bring it up anymore

Damn that was six years ago!!! Wow time flies! 😳 I Hope you all get everything you’ve ever wanted in this short life! 🌹

Daks probably one of my favorite rookies ever to watch

Omg, I still talk about that game...it was stressful and exciting at the same time...especially the last 40 or so seconds.

As a Cowboys loyal since birth in Dallas 74 it's been the small dog with the heart and fight Don Meredith from Mount Vernon TX middle of nowhere, Roger Staubach was 27 as a rookie after Navy, Troy Aikman is probably the only #1QB that ever achieved greatness in NFL the rest get lost in bad teams, Tony Romo 1-AA "East Illinois, Ohio Valley conference" first n only Walter Payton award winner in history, to small, to slow n to nice they said and Dak Prescott well you already said it!

The was also very emotional dez lost his father the same week and still wanted to play in memory of him. This game will go down as one of the best in cowboys history.

LOVE YOU DAK 🙏🏽 GO COWBOYS

I was at this game in person. It was the craziest game ever!!

I think that this video confuses “currently popular” with “superstar”. I am a lifelong Cowboys fan and I certainly hope that Dak reaches the status of “football legend”, but he hasn’t accomplished much of anything yet. He’s had some good games and a couple of good seasons, but the success of 2016 was more about Zeke and the running game than Dak. In 2017 and 2018 when teams took Zeke away, Dak struggled mightily. It wasn’t until 2019 that Dak turned a corner and began to show the ability to carry a team with his arm. He was hurt before we could see what how much he had progressed last season. This season so far, it has been a true “pick your poison” for defenses. If they take away the run, Dak picks them apart. If they take away the passing game, Zeke and Pollard gash them with the run. To Dak’s credit, he has worked hard to become a better QB every year, and that work ethic, more than anything else, is what can catapult him to true greatness.

😭😭😭 crazy watching that omg

Dak deserves a superbowl team. I hope the boys can give him that.

I'll ALWAYS remember that day it gave me chills how bout them cowboys ✊🏿🤜🏿🤛🏿

We all talking about his rookie year when Zeke was completely balling!

I get tired of hearing how much talent we have. It’s time to put up or shut up. It’s not all on Dak but he’s gotta be the leader and QB Dallas needs to win another Championship! #DC4L 💙🇺🇸🦅🌎⚓️👍😉💪💯‼️💙

Let’s finish this year with winning the big game ⭐️💪🏼
