Mic’d-up video showed what Dak Prescott really said following Brett Maher’s PAT struggles

The Dallas Cowboys cruised past the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Monday’s NFC Wild Card matchup, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

Kicker Brett Maher had a game to forget with an astonishing four missed extra points. It was so bad that even Jerry Jones was fielding questions about a possible change at kicker (he said he was sticking with Maher).

Now, after the game, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott offered words of support for Maher and was confident that Maher would bounce back with a “perfect” showing in the Divisional round. But during the game, Prescott couldn’t hold back the frustration. The ESPN broadcast showed him slamming his helmet after a third missed PAT, and lip readers were convinced that Prescott said, “Go for (expletive) two!”

It turned out that those lip readers were right.

Not that there was much doubt, but indeed say: "Go for f**king two!" – after Brett Maher missed his 3rd extra point in the #Bucs game.

The latest edition of Inside the NFL from NFL Films included Prescott’s mic’d-up reaction to Maher’s third miss where he indeed said, “Go for (expletive) two!”

Prescott did acknowledge after the game that he saw the video of his reaction and talked it through with Maher.

But fans, of course, had thoughts on the whole outburst.

This was how Twitter reacted

Was Brett Maher screaming at dak during his league leading 15 interceptions despite missing 5 games ? https://t.co/VMQDBGopWp

For those criticizing this, this is a playoff game. He wants to win. He’s not wrong. https://t.co/FOEWMvl5Z3
