Once, there were three great Cowboys.
The quarterback was blonde of hair, blue of eyes and square of jaw. It was as if he were cast by a Hollywood filmmaker to be the captain of America's Team. The running back had the gall to think he could be the most productive runner in league history before he ever had his first NFL carry. He told teammates that. And damn if he didn't live up to his word. The wide receiver had a self-appointed nickname: The Playmaker. He worked harder than anyone, and partied harder than anyone, too. He wore fur coats, diamonds and sunglasses.
"The Triplets," they called them.
Today, there are three potentially great Cowboys.
The rookie quarterback is a prodigy and an accidental superstar. He has stunned the world simply by doing everything the right way. The first-round running back with the crop top and thick beard leads the NFL in rushing yards and jersey sales as a rookie. He shows off his abs and leaves cleat marks on defenders. The wide receiver is gifted almost beyond understanding. With a background you wouldn't wish on anyone, he plays every game as if the moon were full.
"The Triplets," they're calling them.
Two decades later, it was Prescott who helped a teammate who was down. The day before the Cowboys played the Steelers, Bryant learned his father had passed away.
So much was going through his head. Bryant wasn't sure if he could pull himself together and play a game—a stupid game. His phone buzzed. A text from Prescott.
The text, which he saved, read:
"Dez I heard about your loss. I want to let you know I've been through it. First and foremost, I want to let you know nobody, I mean nobody, can tell you how you are supposed to feel. There aren't any words to comfort someone except he is in a better place than this world and there is not anything to say to make you feel better right now. Please know I'm here for you brother. I love you man and anytime you want to talk about this or anything, my ears are open. I know I'm young, but I've been through damn near everything so I don't hesitate. Today is your day. This game is the only thing that gives me peace. That's why I'm so passionate about it, and I know you are the exact same way. Let's go have a day and honor your dad."
It was just what Bryant needed. The message helped him turn down the noise in his mind, and helped him start to heal the hole in his heart.
"Usually for games I'm pumped, I'm amped, I have a million things running through my head," Bryant says. "That Pittsburgh game...I never felt that way ever before. I was calm. I played my best football. I ran the best routes I ever ran with the Cowboys. A lot of credit goes to Dak."

Jerry Jones: Tony Romo will play part in Cowboys' Super Bowl run
In an exclusive interview with the Daily News in his midtown Manhattan hotel room Thursday afternoon, Jones made two predictions:
-- There's going to be a situation where Romo steps in and helps Dallas in its quest to get to Super Bowl LI in Houston.
-- Even if Romo is the backup going into the offseason, Jones believes he will be able to talk him out of demanding a trade or his release so he can join a team where he could start.
If Romo gets into a meaningful regular season or playoff game in the next two months, it's either because Prescott is injured or he is playing so poorly that Romo comes in to try and keep the season alive.
"I think Romo is going to get his opportunity," Jones said. "I don't want it to happen. But I think he may get his opportunity to get us a Super Bowl. While that's a mixed bag when I think about it — that means you don't have Dak out there — but it means, what a story, one for the ages, if he'd step in there and this year help us win a Super Bowl on the field with his skill. That can happen here. We're not talking about a bus driver out there. We're talking about a guy who can go out there and move our team."
