Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott issued an apology Tuesday for his post-game comments about fans throwing trash at the referees following the Cowboys' 23-17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Prescott was initially disappointed by fans throwing trash and debris as players exited the field after the game. However, when the two-time Pro Bowler found out that fans were throwing debris at the referees, he said “Credit to them then.”
Prescott backtracked on those comments Tuesday, saying that he respects the league's officials and wanted no harm to come to them.
“I hold the NFL Officials in the highest regard and have always respected their professionalism and the difficulty of their jobs,” Prescott said.
