Dak Prescott’s great season will continue

Coming off the gruesome ankle injury that ended his season, we didn’t know how good Dak would be. So far, he’s been nothing short of tremendous. Prescott has 13 touchdowns to just three interceptions with a passer rating just south of 117. He’s answered all the questions and then some through five games.

It also helps his cause that his supporting cast of receivers have all been playing well. CeeDee Lamb looks like what everyone expected him to be when they took him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He and Amari Cooper have played great, and you could make the argument that they are currently the best receiving duo in football.

The Patriots secondary has played well this season, but they haven’t faced an offense like Dallas. If Davis Mills and the Texans can take them to the wire, the Cowboys will do what they please Sunday in Foxboro.

New England will need a big play from the likes of J.C. Jackson and Devin McCourty to shift momentum in their favor. Their defense thrives on takeaways and shifting momentum in their favor. Prescott has done a great job at protecting the ball through the air, and it doesn’t look like he is slowing down.
