Hmmmm 8 hours later and still no answer as to when garbage time begins.. I need to know so I can know which of Dak's stats I can disregard. I mean how did the Rams, Seahawks, Falcons, and Giants all "let" the Cowboys come back and take leads against them.. And did Cleveland's defense stop "letting" the Cowboys score after the first, second or third TD drive? Or were they just trying to keep the score close so that people wouldn't turn the channel? Um jess axin..
Here's the thing about the idiots who want Dak gone at any cost.. For him it's a no lose situation. If he signs here he gets to play for his boyhood team and continue building on what he started... If he signs elsewhere he will get to pick from whichever contender he likes best and go to a better team and better run organization (not hard to do) and will be that much more likely to hoist a Lombardi in his career than he would in Dallas. And still make more money in the next 5 years than everyone on this site combined..
I will try to answer your question. Last year there was a thread about garbage time which had stats with Winston being number one and Prescott number two. The threshold in the article was 18 points when garbage time began. It doesn't end till the team ties or goes ahead.
By this criteria the only two games that qualify are the Atlanta and Cleveland games. Prescott had thrown for 35 yards when Dallas fell behind by17 points. Prescott threw for 450 yards, meaning 415 yards and 1 TD were in garbage time.
In the Cleveland game Prescott threw for 300 yards and 2 TDs in garbage time.
When adding these two games you get 715 yards and 3 TDs occurred during garbage time. Prescott threw for1856 yards and 9 TDs before being injured.
That comes out to 38.5% of yards and 33% of TDs occurred during garbage time, which is slightly higher than the garbage time percentages in 2019.
