This week has been quite a ride for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. After a thrilling win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he now has to deal with the fallout from a video showing the demolition of his huge Texas mansion.
In the video, Dak is seen running toward the house during the teardown, looking worried that he forgot something inside. The whole thing became a bigger deal when people started sharing the video online, which Dak didn’t expect when planning to tear down his old home to build a new one.

In a press conference, Dak expressed his frustration about the public attention. “It’s crazy how much coverage this has gotten,” he said. He wants to keep his personal life private, especially since he’s working on a home for his future family. He was particularly upset about drones being used to film the demolition.
Despite the drama, Dak kept things light when talking to reporters. When asked about the upcoming game against the Detroit Lions, Cowboys reporter Nick Harris joked about how things had changed since their last meeting. Dak laughed and said, “You’re testing me! That was nice.”

The situation has been tough for him, especially after TMZ reported he filmed some content with Dude Perfect after a recent loss, which didn’t sit well with some fans. Still, it’s understandable that he would be annoyed about the leaked demolition video; he probably wanted to control how and when personal moments like this were shared.
While Dak navigates the ups and downs of his life in the spotlight, he’s focused on leading the Cowboys as they prepare for the challenges ahead this NFL season.
