IRVING, Texas -- The first time rookie quarterback Dak Prescott meets Tony Romo, it's bound to be awkward for a couple of minutes.

After all, Prescott posted three tweets critical of Romo after the Dallas Cowboys' 28-18 loss to the Washington Redskins in 2012. In Prescott’s defense, if he knew the Cowboys were going to select him in the fourth round of the 2016 draft, he probably wouldn’t have done it.

At the time, though, Prescott was no different from a lot of frustrated Cowboys fans after Romo threw three interceptions in the loss, and the Cowboys finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

At 11:46 p.m., Prescott tweeted: "I'm DONE taking up for Romo #hadenough”

Later, he tweeted, "@JaceyPunches No! He doesn't finish & None of those INTs were Bc of the O-line. #noexcuses”

Finally, Prescott tweeted “@jaceypunches Nah Jacey!! You're suppose to Throw it over the guys head. That was the most embarrassing one of them all #stoptakingupforhim”

Obviously, Prescott's circumstance has changed. He doesn't expect Romo to hold those tweets against him.

"I'm going to let him bring it up. I think it's funny," Prescott said. "I'm sure he'll think it's funny. I was a frustrated fan at the time.

“I'm sure you can go back and look at fans of Mississippi State and they may have said something similar at one point or another, so I was just being a fan. And now he's my teammate and I'm behind him 100 percent."
