Key Points:

  • Dak Prescott has the chance to become the first Dallas Cowboys quarterback to lead the NFL in passing yards, currently holding a narrow lead with 4,482 yards entering Week 18.
  • Prescott leads the league in completions (397) and attempts (589), earned Pro Bowl honors, and has improved his interception percentage and throw accuracy compared to his career averages.
  • Despite Prescott's strong offensive performance, the Cowboys have missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, largely due to having the NFL's worst defense in points allowed.
  • Prescott plans to play smart and prioritize winning over chasing the passing title, with the possibility of being substituted during the game as the Cowboys may give backup Joe Milton some snaps.
