Dallas Cowboys' Dak Prescott apologizes for comments about fans throwing objects at officials

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott apologized Tuesday via Twitter for his postgame comments regarding fans throwing bottles and debris at the officials after Sunday's wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

A postgame question to Prescott on Sunday initially indicated the fans were throwing things at his teammates in anger, which he called, "sad." However, when he was told the objects were directed at the officials, he said, "Credit to them then. Credit to them."

He was given a chance to walk the comments back at the end of his news conference and didn't.
