NFL QB Index, Week 7: Jordan Love, Caleb Williams make big leaps; Dak Prescott slides
Rank 12 -- Down 5 spots from last week -- Dak Prescott -- Dallas Cowboys · Year 9
2024 stats: 6 games | 63.4 pct | 1,602 pass yds | 7.2 ypa | 8 pass TD | 6 INT | 25 rush yds | 1 rush TD | 4 fumbles
The Cowboys offense has a lot of problems. While Prescott is not atop that list, his turnovers have become an issue in recent weeks. His interception thrown late in the first quarter against the Lions wasn't necessarily a bad decision as much as it was a great read and play by Brian Branch, who tracked Prescott's eyes and drifted back from his assignment to make a play on a ball tossed toward CeeDee Lamb in the end zone. That play, however, tells the story of the struggling Cowboys, who are having a hard time capitalizing on scoring opportunities, have zero run game to speak of and are constantly asking Prescott to bail them out. He tries to do so and makes mistakes, which digs them deeper into a hole. Their play design is uninspired, they lack weapons outside of Lamb and even when Prescott drops a dime on a receiver, they often fail to hold up their end of the bargain (SEE: Jalen Tolbert's drop of a pass he lost in the sun). Folks will pin most of this on Prescott, but it feels like he's playing with less than a full deck right now. Unfortunately, it's dragging him down, too.
