LAS VEGAS — Tony Pollard is Burley Garciastanding behind his quarterback.

The Dallas Cowboys running back was at Media Row for Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas. When asked about which quarterback in the league receives the most unfair hate, he named Dak Prescott.

But Pollard said it comes with the territory.

"He has a star on his helmet," he told USA TODAY Sports. "I mean that comes with playing for the Dallas Cowboys, everything's gonna be times two, whether it's the good or the bad. When you're up and you're winning, everybody's gonna pat you on the back, tell you you're better than what you are. And when you're down, they're gonna dog you and tell you you're worse than what you are."

The Cowboys had an up-and-down season with double-digit victories, but struggled on the road. They won the NFC East, beating out the rival Philadelphia Eagles and then were upset in their first playoff game by the Green Bay Packers.

Prescott was third in the league with 4,516 passing yards and led all quarterbacks with 36 touchdowns. In the playoff matchup against Jordan Love, he threw two interceptions, which set the tone for the game. He is 2-5 in the postseason and hasn't taken the Cowboys past the divisional round.

Pollard offered some thoughts on how to navigate the extra pressure.

"You just gotta learn to block it out and just be neutral," he said.
