After 33–16 Win, Dak Prescott Stuns Everyone by Comforting a Devastated Ashton Jeanty on the Sideline
Arlington, Texas — In a charged Week 11 showdown that ended 33–16 in favor of the Dallas Cowboys, the most unforgettable moment didn’t come from Dak Prescott’s touchdowns or the Cowboys’ defensive dominance. It came
Ashton Jeanty, the Raiders’ explosive young playmaker, remained on the bench long after the final whistle. He had fought through a frustrating night — big hits, stalled drives, and a late fumble that sealed Las Vegas’ fate. Despite his relentless effort, the Raiders’ offense never found rhythm, and the weight of the loss settled heavily on his shoulders.
Jeanty sat still, helmet beside him, staring down at the turf as teammates slowly walked toward the tunnel.
Then Dak Prescott walked over.
Fresh off leading the Cowboys to a commanding
Dak gently placed a hand on Jeanty’s shoulder.
Ashton looked up, eyes red and full of frustration.
Prescott leaned in, pulled him into a firm, reassuring embrace, and whispered something only the two of them could hear.
According to a Raiders staffer nearby, Dak told him:
“You’re a special player, man. Don’t let one game break you. Keep pushing — your time is coming.”
Jeanty nodded, swallowing hard, giving Dak a grateful pat on the back.
In the Raiders’ locker room, Jeanty later spoke about the moment:
“Dak didn’t owe me anything… but he came over anyway. That meant a lot. He’s a competitor, but he showed he’s an even better man.”
On the Cowboys’ side, Prescott kept the message simple:
“Ashton’s got real talent. I’ve been in that spot before — feeling like the whole world’s against you. I just wanted him to know he’s not alone.”
The Cowboys’ 33–16 Week 11 win tightened their playoff push, but the moment dominating headlines isn’t the scoreline.
It’s Dak Prescott crossing the field to comfort a devastated Ashton Jeanty
Because sometimes, football’s most powerful moment is the one that happens after the game is over.
After 41–22 Win, Brock Purdy Stuns Everyone by Comforting a Devastated Jacoby Brissett on the Sideline
Santa Clara, California — In a high-scoring Week 11 matchup that ended 41–22 in favor of the San Francisco 49ers
Jacoby Brissett, Washington’s veteran quarterback unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight, sat on the bench long after the final whistle. He had battled all afternoon against a relentless 49ers defense, but mistakes, constant pressure, and an offense that couldn’t finish drives left him visibly deflated. His stat line — while gritty — couldn’t reflect the frustration on his face as teammates walked past him toward the tunnel.
Brissett remained seated, helmet by his side, staring down at the turf with the weight of the loss bearing on his shoulders.
Then Brock Purdy walked over.
Fresh off leading the 49ers to a dominant
When he reached Brissett, Purdy gently placed a hand on his shoulder.
Jacoby looked up — eyes tired, expression heavy.
Purdy leaned in and pulled him into a short, heartfelt embrace.
According to a Commanders assistant standing nearby, Purdy told him softly:
“You fought your heart out today. One game doesn’t define you. Keep leading — guys believe in you more than you know.”
Brissett nodded and gave Purdy a firm pat on the arm, taking a deep breath as if the words had lifted a weight off him.
In the locker room later, Jacoby Brissett acknowledged how much that moment meant:
“Brock didn’t have to come over — especially after the kind of game they had. That’s respect. I appreciate him for that.”
On the 49ers’ side, Purdy kept his explanation simple:
“Jacoby’s a pro. He competes. I just wanted him to know every quarterback has tough days. What matters is how you respond.”
The 49ers’ impressive 41–22 Week 11 victory added momentum to their NFC playoff push, but it wasn’t the explosive offense or the big defensive plays dominating the conversation.
It was
Sometimes the most powerful moment of the game happens after it’s over.
