Dak Prescott Details Quinnen Williams-Led Meeting, Mike Pettine’s Defensive Changes

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott addressed a players-only meeting led by defensive tackle Quinnen Williams following the team's 24-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Prescott stated that the defensive gathering focused on accountability and ownership, noting that the positive impact of the meeting and new senior defensive assistant Mike Pettine's scheme have already surfaced in practice ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Prescott also expressed support for defensive coordinator Christian Parker amid recent criticism and defended tight end Jake Ferguson after a costly late-game interception. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer praised the player-led initiative, describing the meeting as productive, open, and honest as the team works to resolve defensive issues.
