Dak gets flak for ‘spicy nuggets’ remark in huddle

4:57 PM ET

NFL Films microphones caught Dak Prescott in the huddle last week calling a play and then offering an important reminder to his Dallas Cowboys‘ teammates.

“Oh, spicy nuggets are back,” Prescott said. “I might have to stop on the way home.”

On Thursday, Prescott said he never got those nuggets after the Cowboys’ win against the Miami Dolphins, but that has not ready to shoot a commercial for Wendy’s just yet either.

“No, I don’t worry about those things during the season,” Prescott said.

Prescott has a number of endorsements from Pepsi, Frito-Lay, Oikos and Nicholas Air, among others.

Jason Witten said teammates have busted Prescott’s chops a little this week.

“I’m sure his agents are probably working to get a deal done right there,” Witten laughed. “Capitalize on the opportunity, you know? I don’t think he’s gotten enough there. … Pass them down to the rest of us, you know?”

While it wasn’t Joe Montana pointing out John Candy during the Super Bowl, Witten said it showed Prescott knows how to keep his teammates loose.

“Listen, his ability to lock in and then keep a little bit of personality … He’s relaxed, he’s calm out there,” Witten said. “I believe he prepares during the week and then he doesn’t overthink it when he gets in those moments.”
