A less confident player might have been more cautious in that moment, especially one who had been rattled by the Eagles earlier in the game (they sacked Prescott twice and hurried him on several other plays). He proved he was ready to embrace the challenge. As Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said, "That's what he's demonstrated since Day 1. Just to be able to handle any situation with poise and composure ... He plays with the same mentality, the same demeanor, the same temperament regardless of what's happened before. The best players I've been around are able to do that. He was outstanding at the end of this ballgame."
