No longer on the couch, Dak Prescott hopes for positive Thanksgiving feeling

FRISCO, Texas – Growing up in Haughton, Louisiana, Dak Prescott dreamed of being the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback. He knows about the team’s Thanksgiving tradition, if not the specifics of games in the past.

He doesn’t necessarily remember Tony Romo’s five-touchdown performance against Tampa Bay in 2006. Or 2012's painful loss to Washington, when the Redskins' rookie duo of Robert Griffin III and Alfred Morris did to the Cowboys what Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott are doing to the NFL in 2016. There really hasn’t been anything memorable about the Cowboys’ last two Thanksgiving games, losses to Philadelphia and Carolina, except that Romo hasn’t played in a regular-season game since last Thanksgiving.
