The Dallas Cowboys got back to their winning ways with a 26-20 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night, and after the game, receiver Dez Bryant relayed a message to those who doubted the team.

Bryant was baffled the team and rookie quarterback Dak Prescott received criticism after the New York Giants put an end to their 11-game winning streak last week.

"I'm talking to the fake Cowboy fans, I'm talking to the bandwagoners, I'm talking about everybody. First off, just jump off. We lost one game, we (were) 11-2. Come on, man. This guy put us in this position and you just get to talking crazy. We have one bad game. It's crazy," Bryant said in a video on the team's website.

"This is why everybody gets blocked out. We gotta stick together, we've gotta just focus on ourselves and keep on pushing and not pay attention to the noise like the fake praise. We've gotta treat the fake praise like the haters. All the same."

The Cowboys and Prescott rebounded nicely from their second loss of the year. Prescott had just four incompletions on the night and rushed for a touchdown. Rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott led the team with 159 rushing yards and a score.
