Dak Prescott’s hilarious turkey celebration steals the spotlight on ‘Hard Knocks’

Tuesday brought us the return of the in-season edition of the popular series Hard Knocks. The series typically follows one team when covering training camps, but the in-season edition focuses on an entire division.

This year, it’s the NFC East that’s featured, which means it’s another chance to see more of the Dallas Cowboys. As expected, they were featured quite a bit during the opener, with one hilarious locker room moment standing out.

Following their victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Cowboys were able to enjoy some turkey on the field after the game. They didn’t leave the meal there, however, as Dak Prescott brought in a massive turkey leg. He was also in the mood to share.

Prescott ran up to head coach Brian Schottenheimer and made him take a bite of the turkey leg. Shortly after that, Jerry Jones walked in and Dak shared with him as well, yelling “Get you some of that turkey.”

Prescott wasn’t the only player who brought turkey to the locker room either. At one point, he points to tight end Jake Ferguson and yells, “Look at Ferg,” who was carrying a whole turkey.

It was clear in that scene just how much the men in that locker room are enjoying one another. The Cowboys went through a terrible 3-5-1 start, then dealt with a horrific tragedy with the loss of Marshawn Kneeland.

They were a tight bunch before that tragedy, evidenced by their locker room celebrations following each win, but this seemed to bring them closer together. They’re also turning their season around, and building massive confidence along the way.

There’s still a lot of work to be done for Dallas to make the playoffs, but they’re a team that believes they can get it done. Their next chance to prove that will be Thursday night against the Detroit Lions.
