Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott says faith has become an important part of the team’s culture, telling reporters after Sunday’s game that his teammates understand “we’re all here because of God” and are called to “serve a greater purpose.” Dallas rallied from a double-digit deficit to beat the Houston Texans 34-30 in Houston and improve to 2-2, according to Yahoo Sports.
Prescott finished 32 of 45 for 335 yards and a touchdown, including a 12-yard scoring pass to CeeDee Lamb with 40 seconds left. At a postgame press conference following the Cowboys’ game against the Houston Texans, Prescott was asked, “Are you guys expressing more faith since you’ve been here?” “Absolutely,” Prescott responded. “That’s who I am,” he added.

“We’re all here because of God, and we’re all here to serve a greater purpose.” He said the approach is about "opening your perspective up when things happen, win, lose or draw," and asking "what's the purpose?" “It’s about opening your perspective up when things happen win, lose or draw and asking, ‘What’s the purpose?’” Prescott said.
“We know what God wants us to do in our response and that’s being the best versions of ourselves, serving him, serving others,” he added.
