Prescott completed 24 of 42 passes for 316 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night.
Prescott's final yardage number was sure to please fantasy managers, but there was a pretty sizable gulf between that figure and the veteran signal-caller's actual play-to-play performance most of the night. Prescott and the air attack struggled through more than a half against an aggressive Buccaneers defense, including on a third-quarter interception that led to a Tampa Bay touchdown. However, he came alive on a mid-fourth-quarter drive where the Cowboys sped up the pace, capping that 10-play, 99-yard possession off with an 18-yard touchdown pass to George Pickens. Prescott had Dallas moving again the next time he had the ball, but a pass that went off Jake Ferguson's hands over the middle was secured by Alex Anzalone for what turned out to be a game-sealing interception. Prescott completed a season-low 57.1 percent of his throws and failed to throw multiple touchdown passes for the third straight game, but he'll still take an impressive 9:3 TD:INT into a Week 6 road showdown against the Packers on Sunday night, Oct. 18.
Prescott completed 22 of 34 passes for 175 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants. He also rushed twice for 14 yards.
Prescott connected with CeeDee Lamb for a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter and found Javonte Williams for a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth. Prescott's interception in the final minute of the first half proved costly, as the Giants scored a go-ahead touchdown six plays later and led the rest of the way. Lamb finished with just 44 yards and George Pickens had only 28, as Dallas' talented passing game was stuck in first gear. Prescott, who finished third in the league with 4,552 passing yards during the 2025 regular season, will try to pick up the pace in Dallas' Week 2 home opener against the Commanders.
Everyone sharing the ball with Dak, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
Prescott didn't log any snaps during the Cowboys' three-game preseason schedule.
Prescott has had WR CeeDee Lamb to throw to since 2020, but the addition of George Pickens during the 2025 offseason helped the quarterback rack up the second-most passing yards in a season (4,552) of his 10-year career. Additionally, Prescott also tossed 30 TDs for the fourth time among his career-high 600 pass attempts. Dallas likely would like that latter number to come down in a more balanced offense, and a new defensive scheme under coordinator Christian Parker could mean Prescott and the offense are in catch-up mode less often. In any case, Prescott has a bonafide top receiving duo at his services, so another 4,000-yard campaign is entirely within the realm of possibilities in 2026
