Dak Prescott was highly efficient on Thursday night.
It may not have been pretty, but the Dallas Cowboys got the bounce-back win they desperately needed on Thursday night against the New York Giants.
There was some good, and some bad, on both sides of the ball, but one player’s performance stood above the rest. That guy was Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott. The 31-year-old signal-caller put together his best game of the season, completing 22 of 27 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns.
Prescott’s dominant performance earned him this week’s game ball.

When Prescott displays the type of accuracy he did on Thursday, the Cowboys are hard to beat. Dallas improved to 21-0 when Dak has a completion percentage of 77% or higher.
Despite some suboptimal offensive line play, Dak Prescott put together one heck of a performance last night. If Prescott can sustain this level of play in the coming weeks, the Cowboys will have a shot to beat any team they play.
