Dak Prescott has had a 2024 to forget on the field but one to cherish off it. On Wednesday, the multiple-time Pro Bowl quarterback compiled a collection of the best photos from the year in an Instagram post, many featuring his fiancee Sarah Jane Ramos and his daughter MJ Rose:
The Dallas Cowboys had a few embarrassingly lopsided defeats - from the 2023-24 Wild Card round against the Green Bay Packers to a series sweep by the Philadelphia Eagles the following season, during which Prescott suffered a season-ending hamstring injury.
However, he also welcomed MJ Rose, in between. During the season, he and Ramos became engaged.

Dak Prescott had known about break-ins before robbery on fiancee Sarah Jane Ramos
A day after Christmas, disaster struck Dak Prescott and his family: someone entered Sarah Jane Ramos' vehicle and stole $40,000 worth of bags, wallets and digital paraphernalia. According to WFAA, she had forgotten to lock the door, but it is as if the family had known it would happen.
Speaking to the press on Wednesday, he said:
"I've always understood who I was or where I was, especially being the quarterback of this team and targeted that I am, whether it be for a natural robbery or whether it be for losing a game and whatever. I've understood the position that I am in.
"Who knows how many times that happens a day? So that's that. But as far as the other -- protecting the home and that -- yeah, I'm going to take every step necessary that I can to ensure the safety and that doesn't happen to me."
Dak Prescott continued by calling it an unwanted byproduct of his fame:
"You understand that others can look up and just see how much we make or maybe an address, and that puts us subject to a target. As I said, for me and for my teammates, for anybody across the league, or anybody of celebrity status, I guess you could say it's unfortunate; but we have to take and do what's necessary to protect us and our family."
Other football players who have fallen victim to crimes include Patrick Mahomes, Jason Kelce and Joe Burrow, who learned of the incident from his girlfriend Olivia Ponton (his Cincinnati Bengals were playing at the Cowboys at the time).
