The Dallas Cowboys' quarterback controversy is somehow the biggest story in football despite the fact that Dallas has the best record in the NFC, and Super Bowl Champion Ray Lewis - for one - can't believe Prescott could conceivably lose his job as a starter.

On Wednesday's episode of Undisputed, Lewis defended the Cowboys rookie, who has done everything that has been asked of him so far this season, and revealed what he told Prescott himself.

“I’m gonna tell you what I told Dak straight up: ‘Young boy, you’re making us proud.’ Have fun, man, playing this game. Don’t let everybody put all this pressure on you. There is no pressure on you… and coming up this Sunday night, it will be the same exact message. Get out there and play football, what we’ve been doing our whole life.

Because when you start getting into all this other stuff of ‘who’s gonna come in?’ [Shannon Sharpe] will tell you, I never even thought about someone coming in and taking my job, or a snap of it. If you lost it to me, I guarantee you weren’t getting it back.”
