Dak Prescott had bold message for Tom Brady after Week 1 thriller originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys kicked off the 2021 NFL season in style Thursday night.

These two teams treated football fans to 60 exciting minutes of action, culminating with another game-winning drive from Bucs quarterback Tom Brady. Tampa Bay kicked a 36-yard field goal in the final seconds of the fourth quarter to seal a 31-29 win.

There were encouraging signs for the Cowboys, though. Starting quarterback Dak Prescott, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 5 last year, returned to action and played fantastic. He threw for 403 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.
