After a week of consternation by their fan base, the Dallas Cowboys proved they belong in the upper-echelon of the NFL right now with a 26-20 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football.

Cowboys running back legend Emmitt Smith was at the game on Sunday and was so excited by what he saw on the film that he recorded a 46-second message for the rookie duo of Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott, with three Super Bowl trophies creating the appropriate backdrop for the message.

Good luck to my @dallascowboys​... Stay healthy and go get your ring! #CowboysNation pic.twitter.com/aoH3Y1KThI — Emmitt Smith (@EmmittSmith22) December 20, 2016

"It was great going to the Cowboy game tonight to see them against the Bucs. It was even more awesome to watch Zeke do it in person. And Dak Prescott," Smith began. "And Dak, I just want to say thank you, man. You sent flowers to me and my family during our time of need with the loss of my mother. Just shows what kind of character you have.

"I'm so proud of the Dallas Cowboys right now. These boys are on their way to try to accomplish one of these three things that you see behind me right now. So I wish them the best of luck. Much love for Dak, much love for Zeke and definitely much love for my Dallas Cowboys. Good luck guys, stay healthy and go get your ring."

This is not the first time Prescott has comforted a member of the Cowboys' family after losing a parent. Prescott, whose mother died of colon cancer in 2013, helped calm Dez Bryant after his father passed away earlier this season.

"Your father, he is watching you," Prescott told Bryant before the Cowboys' game against Pittsburgh. "He's got the best seat in the house. I told him to go out there and honor him today. And Dez did exactly that."
