ARLINGTON (CBS11 SPORTS) - If you could use only one adjective to describe Dak Prescott's game-winning touchdown pass to Jason Witten against the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night at AT&T Stadium, you might try, "Romo-esque."
The Cowboys rookie quarterback agrees.
"After watching the Cowboys for years, I've grown up a Cowboys fan" Prescott admitted, "Romo made a lot of plays like that... usually when he spins around Witten is the guy to get open - so it's cool for that to happen last night."
An energized Prescott joined his fellow rookies offering advice to kids at Workman Junior High in Arlington during a United Way event launching the Character Playbook Program. The online course promotes character development and healthy relationships for teens.
Hours earlier, Prescott was receiving advice from his teammate Tony Romo. Overcoming a shaky start and rallying the Cowboys from a 10-point deficit to beat the Eagles 29-23 in overtime.
"Romo has always been great, giving me positive feedback throughout the game." Prescott said. "He's great to have on the sideline."
But what everyone wants to know is how much longer will Romo stay on the sideline.
"Me and Romo have a great relationship" Prescott said. Adding that the two quarterbacks "(will) not let anything come between us, much less, hurt the team in any way."
It appears the relationship between Prescott and Romo won't be tested this week. Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Romo is not healthy enough yet to return to the lineup and Prescott will start against winless Cleveland on Sunday.
