On Saturday night, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott did what you just saw above—connecting with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb for an incredible 92-yard touchdown pass. And Carolina Panthers great Cam Newton, who categorized Prescott as a “game manager” a few weeks ago, showed the Most Valuable Player candidate some love . . . or 1ØVĖ:

This wasn’t the first time Newton openly observed one of his game managers, nor was it the first time he used emojis to do so. But unfortunately for San Francisco’s Brock Purdy, his Christmas nightmare received a trio of monocles from Cam last week.
Fortunately for Prescott, he finished off tonight’s outing as strong as he started it. Dak, who led the Cowboys to a thrilling 20-19 win over the Detroit Lions, completed 26 of his 38 throws for 345 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Ironically enough, the primetime showdown didn’t go as well for Jared Goff—another quarterback Newton put in the manager bunch. He hit on 19 of his 34 passes for 271 yards, one score and two picks.
