Eli Manning takes a dig at brother Peyton after Dak Prescott makes the same play the Sherriff made against the Cowboys in 2013
Dak Prescott makes Peyton Manning's play back from 2013 when the former Denver Broncos' QB fooled the entire stadium on his trick play in the endzone.

Dak Prescott has done what others before him couldn’t! He finally broke Tom Brady’s undefeated record against the Dallas Cowboys and also led the team to their first road playoff victory since 1992, all in one night!
Prescott really stood by his words when he said that his poor performance won’t continue after the humiliating Week 18 loss to the Commanders. The Cowboys really did study their films, understood the weak points in their offense and defense, and rectified them before starting the game.
Every play that Dallas made on the offense and the defense landed perfectly because there was hardly any resistance from Tampa Bay. Dak Prescott who threw his career-high 15 interceptions in the regular season finished the game without a single pick.
Dak Prescott successfully converted the fourth and goal into a touchdown in Peyton Manning’s style
The game started out quite boring, with both the teams punting the ball four times in total until the Cowboys changed the entire momentum of the game. Dak Prescott rushed for a touchdown in the second quarter of the game and instantly everyone was back in 2013. Prescott ran a man bootleg into the endzone on fourth-and-goal.
Almost a decade back, Peyton Manning, aka ‘The Sherriff’, ran the exact same play against Prescott’s team. The Denver Broncos were on third and goal with less than a minute left on the clock in the second quarter. Peyton faked a handover to the running back and the entire Cowboys’ defense formed a wall to stop the Broncos from entering the endzone. Even the cameraman was focused on them until they all realized that Manning had rushed in to score six points fooling the entire stadium. It really was one of the greatest touchdowns in the history of the league.
After Dak Prescott executed the same play, Eli Manning, the younger brother of Peyton, couldn’t stop himself from making fun of his brother simply because brothers can and it’s really fun. “Dak looked a lot more athletic, you almost fell down after the fake. That would’ve been really embarrassing,” Eli said, roasting his brother on The Manning Cast.
As they say, ‘every masterpiece has its cheap copy’ Dak Prescott might not be etched into the memory of the fans, but it was good enough for the Cowboys to increase their lead against the Bucs and win the game.
