After the Dallas Cowboys had been upset in an NFC Wild Card loss to the San Francisco 49ers, a lot of the fallout from the sport got here because of quarterback Dak Prescott’s post-game press conference and his condoning of followers who threw trash at referees. Prescott later apologized for these feedback. What flew beneath the radar in that press conference was that there was a “reporter” current who wasn’t alleged to be there — even when he performed the half nicely.
On Thursday, it got here to mild {that a} fan — TikTok user finessefave — snuck into Dak Prescott’s post-game press conference and asked him questions whereas posing as a member of the media. In a video posted to TikTok, finessefave chronicled how he and his group snuck into the stadium and gained entry to the sphere stage and inside bowels of the stadium whereas carrying NFL Media vests.
Finessefave’s journey finally introduced him to the post-game press conference room, the place he ended up asking Prescott a pair of questions — one about whether or not Prescott ought to have appeared for the referees to get to the ball after his unwell-fated run up the center with seconds remaining and no timeouts, and one other about how the Cowboys had been in a position to get again within the recreation after being down 23-7 halfway by means of the third quarter.
While the fan and TikTok user’s actions seemingly will not be regarded kindly by NFL safety or by the Cowboys’ media employees, he was in a position to cross for a reporter fairly nicely and extract some first rate quotes from Prescott.
“Offense wasn’t doing nicely, wasn’t doing sufficient. The protection stepped up and made a play (and) received some momentum going,” Prescott mentioned, alluding to an interception by Anthony Brown that allowed the Cowboys to attain a fourth quarter landing to make it a one-rating recreation,” Prescott mentioned about battling again from the 16-level deficit. “And as soon as that occurred we had been in a position to get a rating and get inside six, and we simply weren’t in a position to capitalize after we wanted to.”
While the employees of AT&T Stadium may have a complete offseason to now assess their operations, the TikTok user and others seemingly uncovered a gaping gap within the facility’s safety equipment this previous Sunday: In a reply to Jon Machota of The Athletic, Twitter user and Cowboys fan Stephen Betancourt shared that he and a drunk good friend snuck downstairs and had been in a position to get into a limousine ready to select up gamers.
