one of them cowboys, he starts to draw
Week 13! TNF
Dak has missed 62 snaps this season. The Cowboys average 65.5 plays/game.
He’s basically missed an entire game of snaps because the Cowboys are destroying weaker opponents. He is:
6th in Passing Yards
2nd in TD Passes
2nd in Comp Rate
2nd in QB Rating
23 TDs to just 6 INTs (That’s lead leading for TDs.)
Some of his passes are pretty unique, too, like this one off his back leg:
Aaron Rodgers says, "Dak Prescott has become one of my favorite quarterbacks to watch.”
On Thanksgiving, Dak had the highest single game grade, 97, by a QB since 2007. That is also the highest graded game by any player this season.
The Dallas Cowboys are tied for the second-best record in the NFC at 8-3, and due to his team’s success and some impressive individual numbers, Prescott has the fourth-best odds to win NFL MVP at +700, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
The top 5 looks like this:
Jalen Hurts (+140)
Patrick Mahomes (+350)
Lamar Jackson (+400)
Prescott (+700)
Tua Tagovailoa (+900)
After everybody lost their minds over Dak Prescott's interceptions last season, he now has the best turnover-worthy play rate in the NFL this season (1.7%.)
I’m getting ahead of myself since they play the Seahawks tonight, but I’m interested to see how the Eagles rematch goes. I think the Cowboys match up better with Philly than SF, so the playoff draw will probably matter quite a bit.
In his 7 years as Dallas QB, Dak Prescott has played more games in Philly (3) where one of the teams were resting their starting players for the postseason than in games (2) where both teams were competing to win.
Maybe we’ll see him make another one-handed catch from Jalen Hurts.
And likely we’ll see more perfect throws on 3rd and long.
