DALLAS — Dallas Cowboys receiver Allen Hurns suffered a gruesome first-quarter injury during Saturday's NFC Wild Card Playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks.

It was a lower left injury that was sickening and tough to watch at home, and for his teammates and opponents on the field.

"So, when you see a guy like that go down, it hurts," said Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott during the postgame press conference. "Just seeing how nasty that was, it hurts a lot."

The young man, Luke McSwain, wrote the following:

Dear Allen Hurns #17,

I saw the Cowboys-Seahawks game last night. I saw you get hurt. I hope you are okay. Don't worry, you have the best doctors in the world. I prayed four times for you. You will get way better shortly.
