Dak Prescott Fuels MVP Buzz with Stellar Performance as Cowboys Dominate
The Dallas Cowboys have emerged as one of the NFL’s most formidable teams, concluding a remarkable November with a three-game win streak. This impressive run includes victories over the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and the AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs in just five days. While the defense has shown significant improvement, it is Dak Prescott’s elite play that has taken the Cowboys to new heights.
Prescott’s Precision Shines
Having standout receivers like CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens certainly enhances a quarterback’s performance, but Prescott’s ability to deliver accurate passes has set him apart from his peers. His precision is reflected in the statistics. Prescott boasts an impressive bad throw rate of just 10 percent, a mark that places him at the top of the list. In contrast, other prominent quarterbacks, including Josh Allen (13.1%), Jordan Love (13.2%), Sam Darnold (13.8%), and Jalen Hurts (14%), trail behind.
This accuracy not only bolsters Prescott’s own stats but also empowers Lamb and Pickens to capitalize on opportunities after the catch. Their ability to make significant plays has proven crucial in high-stakes moments throughout the season.
MVP Considerations Loom
There’s growing sentiment that Prescott deserves to be in the MVP conversation. However, his chances are directly tied to the Cowboys’ ability to maintain their momentum into December and secure a playoff spot. Without continued success, recognition may be elusive.
As the Cowboys prepare for their Week 13 matchup, Prescott leads the NFL with 3,261 passing yards and is tied for second with 25 passing touchdowns. He has also thrown eight touchdowns. His QBR of 75.6 currently ranks him as the best in the league.
Upcoming Challenges
The Cowboys’ high-octane offense will face a pivotal test as they head into December, with a matchup against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Thursday, December 4. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
As the Cowboys look to extend their winning streak and solidify their playoff positioning, Prescott’s performance will undoubtedly be a key factor in their pursuit of success. The NFL landscape is watching closely as the Cowboys aim to capitalize on their current form and make a serious playoff push.
