Cowboys' Dak Prescott Talks 'Weird' Coin-Flip Controversy: 'Bad Use of Words'

Winning cures all in the NFL, even "weird" coin-toss situations.

"Definitely a weird start," Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said of the coin toss to start his team's 44-21 win over the Los Angeles Rams, per Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. "We wanted to set adversity there instead of on the field, so we could play from behind immediately. Just bad use of words by me. We listened to the audio. We got it figured out. Just wasn't the cleanest coin flip I've been a part of."

It certainly was an unusual situation.

Williams explained referee Walt Anderson thought Prescott said he wanted to start the game by kicking off instead of deferring.
