"LANDOVER, Maryland -- The Dallas Cowboys will miss the playoffs but after Thursday's 30-23 win against the Washington Commanders, quarterback Dak Prescott reiterated he wants to play in next week's season finale against the New York Giants. "I'll have some fight back," Prescott said. "It depends on how it comes, what's the purpose, what's the reason. Obviously I understand being approached about it, but the conversations we've already had about it are for me to play." Prescott was sacked six times, a season high, hurried 11 times by the Commanders."
"For the first time this season he failed to complete 60% of his passes, hitting 19-of-37 attempts for 307 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran four times for 24 yards. Asked if Prescott would play against the Giants, coach Brian Schottenheimer slightly hedged. "It's Christmas," Schottenheimer said. "I'm going to enjoy Christmas, man. I'm going to have some eggnog. I'll deal with that when I get looking back to the film, but definitely some eggnog. And we're playing to win.""
""Lot of pride and I think that's another reason I want to play," Prescott said. "In a season [of] me being healthy, I've never had, in all of my life, career, a season under .500. So that tie is going to come into play really well. So it's a huge difference. It's one of those things that I mean, yeah, it's just pride. It's pride honestly.""
