The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night, but Dak Prescott looked great in his return from a gruesome ankle injury.

Prescott finished with 403 yards, matching his career high in completions (42) and attempts (58) to go with three touchdown passes and one interception.

"I don't feel like I say things just to say them, so that's just a credit to all the work I put in," Prescott said.

"I think when you invest that much work in rehab and prehab and just everything that has gone into the last 11 months for me to get on the field, I mean, I'm not surprised about the way that I went out there and fought. Ran the ball a couple times and did all the things that I'd normally do 11 months ago. No, I feel like I'm a better player than I was when I left the field [last year] and I told y'all that was the expectations I had for myself, and I'll continue to try to get better game in and game out."
