Dak Prescott Made Notable Change Before Cowboys-Eagles Game

Back in 2018, the Dallas Cowboys were off to a miserable start. After a home loss to the Titans in early November--a team that was only 3-4 entering the game at the time--the Cowboys found themselves in a 3-5 funk, putting their playoff hopes nearly out of reach.

So star quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott put their heads together, trying to find a way to ignite themselves and the team. They came up with ... sleeves. Long ones.

And the Cowboys won. In fact, they won five games in a row and finished with seven wins in their last eight games to earn a postseason spot.

"We got to get something going, we need some new juju or something," Elliott said at the time, via the Dallas Morning News. "So we were like, 'Man, let's wear long sleeves this game.' That was that Philly game and that was the start of this win streak, so I think hopefully you'll be seeing long sleeves through the rest of the season."

Dak Prescott, Double-Sleeve Quarterback

Not just the rest of the season. Prescott stuck with the sleeves throughout the six years since. All throughout his career, as much as he has been known for his passing prowess and his inability to come through in the playoffs, Prescott has also been known as the sleeve-iest quarterback in the league.

It was a uniform violation according to the NFL, and both Prescott and Elliott endured weekly fines back in 2018. Since then, it had just become Prescott's "thing."

Until Thursday night, though. That's when Prescott unveiled a new look for this season: a one-sleeve uniform, as noted by the @FergSZN account on Twitter/X. "The single sleeve makes its debut tonight A new look for Prescott this season," the account noted.
