ARLINGTON, Texas — Dak Prescott was leading the Dallas Cowboys in their pregame huddle at AT&T Stadium on Sunday when he appeared on the big screen, and visiting San Francisco 49ers fans booed. Jon Machota described the moment on X shortly before kickoff, writing, “49ers booing the home team as Prescott is shown on the big screen.”
Earlier, with 47 minutes until kickoff, Joseph Hoyt posted that there was “definitely a mixture of boos and cheers when Dak Prescott is shown on screen.” Hoyt offered that reaction as perspective on how many 49ers fans were in the building, though he began the post by noting it was “a little hard to tell.” NFL reporter Ed Werder posted a photo shortly before kickoff and wrote, “It is apparent that many #Cowboys season-ticket holders have sold their tickets to visiting 49ers fans.”
The 7-1 49ers were visiting a 4-5 Dallas team that entered Sunday 1-2 at AT&T Stadium this season. Kickoff was scheduled for 3:25 p.m. CT on Fox.
Dak Prescott Planned For Crowd Noise At Dallas Cowboys’ Home Game
Prescott addressed the possibility of a large 49ers crowd Thursday at his weekly news conference at The Star. Dallas had played six of its nine games away from Arlington, including a Sept. 27 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro, and Prescott said the Cowboys would get work on their silent count for this home game as well. Offenses use a silent count when crowd noise can keep linemen from hearing the quarterback’s cadence.
“I wouldn’t be surprised for one, and then two, yeah, I mean, we’ll get some work in just our silent,” Prescott said. “I mean, obviously, we’ve been on the road a lot this season.”
Dak Prescott Challenged Dallas Cowboys Fans To Show Up
Prescott also put the question to the home crowd. He challenged Cowboys fans to keep 49ers fans from taking over the stadium for Sunday’s game.
“We’ll prepare for anything and everything, and so I just challenge Cowboy fans to not let that happen,” Prescott explained. “To show up, support, and understand what they mean to this game.”
