Dak Prescott had a furious five-word message to Dallas Cowboys fans after their Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
On Sunday, Prescott and the Cowboys closed the gap between them and Baltimore before losing, 28-25, and moving to a 1-2 record.
After the frustrating loss, Prescott was seen in the tunnel on his way to the locker room, during which he gave his message to their fanbase.
Jump off if you want, Prescott says in the clip posted by Jett Beachum. He repeatedly says please before meeting his teammates and the clip ends.
Prescott encouraged fans to hop off the bandwagon after he threw 28 for 51 for 379 yards and two touchdowns.

Despite having a better passing night than Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who made 12 of 15 attempts for 182 yards and a touchdown, Prescott and the Cowboys failed to secure the win.
The prolonged frustration from the Cowboys fanbase comes shortly after Prescott signed a deal that made him the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history.
Before Dallas season opener, Prescott inked a four-year extension worth $240million.
On September 8, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported that the deal would guarantee Prescott $231m. The deal was confirmed by owner Jerry Jones, his agent Tom France, and his team from Athletes First.
His new contract put Prescott significantly above his contemporaries in yearly earnings at $60m. Below him are Joe Burrow, Jordan Love, and Trevor Lawrence, who all make $55m annually.

The deal keeps Prescott in Dallas through the 2028 season, his age-35 campaign. This is his second extension with the team, following a four-year $160M deal in 2021.
Since Prescotts arrival, the Cowboys have seen the postseason five times but are yet to break out of the divisional playoffs. Dallas finished with a 12-5 record last season, topping the NFC East, before losing to the Green Bay Packers in the WildCard.
The Cowboys will embark on a two-game road trip against the Giants and Steelers over the next two weeks.
