The Dallas Cowboys laid an egg against the Washington Commanders this past Sunday. There is no way around it as all 3 phases of the team underperformed and did not live up to the standard they had set the previous 16 games. The biggest disappointment from that game however, would have to be Dak Prescott, who played the worst game statically of his career in an unforeseen debacle. While Dak was atrocious in that lost, recent history points to Prescott have a much needed resurgence. This year after losses, Dak Prescott is undefeated and has turned in some of his best performances on the year. After a putrid showing against Tampa Bay in week 1 Dak Prescott faced the Detroit Lions in his first game back from injury. In that game Prescott was 19/25 for 207 yards a touchdown and no turnovers. In that game Prescott completed 76 percent of his passes and finished with a passer rating of 113.3.

After losing in over time against the Packers in a game where Prescott threw two first half interceptions Prescott again bounced back with another fantastic performance against the Minnesota Vikings. In that outing Prescott was 22/25 for 276 yards 2 TDs and no interceptions. Prescott completed 80 percent of his passes, posted a QBR of 94 and finished with a passer rating of 139.3.

Finally, after the Cowboys lost a heartbreaker to the Jacksonville Jaguars in OT, Dak had a signature performance against the Philadelphia Eagles. While he did throw an early pick 6 he bounced back and played almost a perfect game. Prescott finished the game 27/35 for 347 yards 3 tds and only one interception. He also posted a QBR of 86.4 and a passer rating of 124.3.

On the season Prescott is 65/85 for 830 yards 6 tds and only 1 interception after losses. With this production after loses it is almost guaranteed Prescott will play one of his best games of the season Monday against the Buccaneers. While Prescott played poorly against the Commanders he has shown he plays his best football following adversity and that trend is certainly destined to continue.
