Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 14:49 · Archive

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was heckled by a stadium worker after the team's 24-16 defeat to Tampa Bay.

The Dallas Cowboys suffered a shock 24-16 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night, giving the previously winless Buccaneers their first win of the season. The loss took place at the Cowboys' AT&T Stadium.

Quarterback Dak Prescott had a poor performance, throwing two interceptions including a game-ending pick in the red zone on the final possession, despite completing 316 yards. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was injured in the second half and barely played.

As Prescott walked back to the locker room behind head coach Brian Schottenheimer, a stadium worker hired by a third-party contractor shouted 'embarrassing'. Prescott looked over and told a Cowboys staffer to remove the man. The worker then said something else as Prescott turned away.

Speaking later about the incident, Prescott said his objection was not to the criticism itself but to how it was delivered. 'Feel free to speak your mind. Just speak it. Don't coward away from the reaction that you're going to get,' he said, explaining that the worker had backed away after the initial comment rather than standing by what was said.
