A bad night got even worse for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday when Dak Prescott suffered an injury, but many fans showed the quarterback no sympathy as he left the field.
Prescott headed to the locker room during the Cowboys’ 19-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after he sustained a hand injury. He gave the fans in Dallas a wave as he jogged off, and it sounded like some of them booed him. An object was also seen flying toward Prescott.
From what I can hear, Dak Prescott was booed off the field. From what I can see, someone threw something at him. The former is not classy, but allowed. The latter is simply unacceptable. #DallasCowboys #TBvsDAL@BootKreweMedia

In a separate video that was taken by a fan, it was clear that Prescott was booed. The clip, which you can see below, also showed that at least two pieces of trash were tossed in the quarterback’s direction.

You can understand why Cowboys fans were frustrated, but that is not a great look. Prescott was later diagnosed with a fractured thumb in his throwing hand. He will miss several games.
If Cowboys fans were already fed up with an offense that was led by Prescott, they may be in for even more aggravation when Cooper Rush takes over next week.
