FRISCO, Texas — The hottest, most in-the-zone, locked-in quarterback and offense the last five weeks of the 2023 NFL season are Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. Prescott rewrote some records in a 49-17 Week 10 win against the New York Giants in just three quarters of work, becoming the first Cowboy with 300 or more passing yards (404) and three touchdowns (four) in three consecutive games. He also became the first Cowboy with 400 or more passing yards (404), four or more passing touchdowns (four) and one rushing touchdown (one) in a single game. Prescott did all of that in three quarters of work by the way.
His prolific production in tandem with Pro Bowl wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, the NFC’s Week 10 Offensive Player of the Week, across the last five weeks has launched his 2023 season totals into the realms of top-five quarterback play by league-wide standards, a distinction that chews up hours worth of debates on sports talk shows and social media alike.
“He’s all football,” head coach Mike McCarthy said postgame. “He loves everything about it. The training. When you look at this game, Sundays are really for free. What he does Monday through Saturday is so so impressive, and it’s important because we made changes from last year. These guys have worked hard to do the things that they’ve been asked to do, and it’s nice to see it come together. Nice to see the success they’re having because they definitely put the work in. We’re really finding our stride with the game plans and things like that. He is definitely playing at a high level.”
