Dak Prescott explained how distributing the ball to playmakers creates team energy.

“But they've been doing a good job, for the most part, of [high] fiving each other up and looking each other in the face and remembering, 'This is my teammate and I'm not gonna take it there.' And also knowing you can't take it there on gameday either, so you learn from it and coach [Schottenheimer] says all the time: 'Be competitive without being combative.' I think that's a fine line and I think we're flirting with it, but I think that's healthy.”
