An incident that’s gone viral went down after the Dallas Cowboys’ shocking 24-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As captured by multiple cameras, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott passed by someone in the AT&T Stadium tunnel who said “embarrassing” as he passed.
You could hear Prescott appear to respond by calling him a “tough guy” and asking to “get his [expletive] out of here.” The person who called him out, per reporter Sam Gannon was “a car service driver, not a stadium employee.”
You can watch the exchange below from multiple angles, and Prescott himself addressed the incident with reporters:

“So when he said it, I just happened to look at him, and at that point, he looked away and didn’t look. And when I turned my head back, he said something else. That’s the part that as a man or as a person, feel free to speak your mind, just speak it. Don’t cower away from the reaction you’re going to get.”
