Twitter goes crazy for Dak Prescott following incredible start to NFL career
There was one big winner Saturday night, at least according to Twitter, and his name is Dak Prescott. After leading Dallas down the field and throwing his first NFL touchdown on his first professional drive, Prescott followed that up by throwing this beautiful pass for his second touchdown of the night.

The former Mississippi State quarterback ended the first half after going 10 for 12 for 139 passing yards and two touchdowns.
The pride of Starkville, Miss., had many across the Twitter landscape singing his praises Saturday night after ruining the Rams’ Los Angeles homecoming:
Dak Prescott is making the new LA Rams look like La Tech.

Dak looked great, wish him all the success in the world.
I’d start Dak over Romo after tonight. I know that Romo didn’t play but Dak played better that Romo did last year.
I totally agree
Future of the Cowboys !!!
@Rebel-landsharks You must be a Cowboys fan.
The Cowboys just saw a glimpse of their future. Let him set behind Romo for a season or two to get nice and ready and then set back and enjoy. Lets go Cowboys!
sit* and sit*, pardon me, I was excited. Haha.
You should be Dak played great. if he would have played the whole game they probably would have beat LA.
I think they would have. Showers failing to lead a scoring drive gave the Rams the time they needed to come back.
Yeh he looked great it makes you wonder if Romo does go down and he has a history of doing so. Can Prescott be a starter week in and week out I think he proved he can tonight.
Honestly I’d like him to have at least a season to study more and get more experience but I think if Romo does get hurt it won’t be the end of the Cowboys season like it was last year. He was playing nice and smooth with the Cowboys starters and against the Rams starting defense. Good stuff all around.
I though gh the was a good QB a state. But he plays like that he might be even better in the NFL
I agree, I think his passing game has already improved a lot which says something about his crazy work ethic. I think he’ll go far in the NFL.
Yeh I do too hope he has a great career. I hope that Kelly will have a smooth transition like Dak from College to NFL.
Dak looked NFL ready…made a believer out of me
The Cowboys may have a Drew Bledsoe – Tom Brady situation on their hands.. Im rooting for Dak.. Wish him a good season… I hope he prepares like a starter..
Why am I not surprised? Great QB. Continued success, Dak.
