It’s not about the money. Dak Prescott has uttered those very words himself. But here’s the thing. It kinda is about the money in certain situations. Sunday night was one of them. The Cowboys made Dak Prescott the highest-paid player in the NFL because they expect him to win games like this one.

On Dallas' next drive, a sack pushed the Cowboys back and then Brandon Aubrey's field-goal attempt was blocked. On a night that began with a huge rainstorm in Pittsburgh and a delay for over an hour, the Cowboys' sloppiness was costing them dearly.
