ARLINGTON -- You know you've accomplished something as a rookie when Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is already calling you daddy.

Cowboys rookie quarterback Dak Prescott had eight carries for 39 yards and a touchdown Thursday in leading Dallas to a Thanksgiving Day win over Washington. On one run, Prescott used an effective stiff-arm to keep a Redskins secondary player away from him to get more yards.

That really impressed Jones.

"Well I'll say this, not only are you see him gaining when they got that pursuit coming after him, you see him run by a secondary player and then when he puts that stiff-arm [out] you quit worrying about him a little bit," Jones said. "He's the daddy when he does that."

Jones was also asked if he's even forgotten that Prescott is a rookie at this point, having led the Cowboys to 10 consecutive victories, a 10-1 start and answered every challenge.

"Well," Jones said, "I've forgotten that it makes any difference."
