>Despite some concerns about how things might pan out, the Cowboys vs. Ravens game at the Maracana Stadium in Brazil proved to be a roaring success.

>The Brazilian fans showed up in droves and were treated to an incredibly exciting game with a thrilling finish. But it was their gesture before the game that raised Prescott’s eyebrows.

>The Cowboys QB said he thought the graphic of him and Jackson looked nothing like either of them, and even went as far as to call it ‘terrible.’

“Terrible. Sorry. It was funny. I hate to say terrible, but I didn’t think it looked like me if I’m being honest. It was like an old Fat Albert, Peanuts, or the Proud Family…

>“But it was cool just to see us that big in poster form. Hopefully, the fans liked it.

>“I didn’t think it had any resemblance to me and Lamar either to be honest. Everybody knew the numbers, four and eight, we knew who it was.”

>While Prescott has every right to share his opinion on the matter, it does come across as disrespectful and unnecessarily rude to the fans.

>Prescott could have easily just said he appreciated the gesture without commenting on how the poster made him look.

>The Brazilian fans showed up in huge numbers to support Prescott, the Cowboys, and the Ravens, and didn’t deserve to be slighted like that.

>Perhaps Prescott was taking out some frustration that he had over the late-game loss he and the Cowboys suffered against the Ravens.

>For NFL fans in Brazil, this moment will not go down well, as they will feel that one of the biggest names went out of his way to disrespect them.
