As Dak Prescott walked through the AT&T Stadium tunnel to the Cowboys' locker room after Thursday night's loss to the Buccaneers, a stadium worker had one word for him.

"Embarrassing," the worker said as Prescott walked by.
Prescott looked at him, kept walking, and then said to a Cowboys employee, "Tough guy. Get his ass out of here."
The Cowboys employee walked toward the stadium worker, who appeared to have left the area by the time the Cowboys employee got there. PFT is told the worker was a driver employed by a third-party contractor.
Prescott was asked about it after the game and made clear he didn't appreciate it.
"When he said it I just happened to look at him, and at that point he looked away, didn't look, and when I turned my head back, he said something else," Prescott said. "So that's the part that, just as a man or a person, feel free to speak your mind. Just speak it. Don't coward away from the reaction that you're going to get. If you're saying it's embarrassing, say it's embarrassing. If you're saying it to me, say it to me. Don't go back on it. That's all it was. I hate that it's even being talked about, to be honest with you."
Prescott said he has too much respect for the Buccaneers to use the word "embarrassing" to describe the loss, but he acknowledged it was a game the Cowboys were supposed to win, and said head coach Brian Schottenheimer told the team that.
"To use the word 'embarrassing,' it's tough," Prescott said. "I feel like I'm discrediting the NFL if I use that, in particular the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the great Todd Bowles coach, defensive-coached team. The guy's been a winning coach for a long time and whether he's been a head coach or a defensive coordinator. The plan, what they did tonight, is the reason for that. To say 'embarrassing,' I think I'd be discrediting them. But we were definitely supposed to win this game. It was a game we were supposed to have on paper. I think Schotty said it best in the locker room. in this league You've got to win the games you're supposed to win, and when a winless team comes into your home stadium on a Thursday night, prime time game, yeah, we're supposed to win that. It sucks, right up close to embarrassing, but I don't know if I would say that."
And Prescott was not happy with the guy who did say that.
