Last season, Dak Prescott faced criticism over his interceptions, tallying a career-high of 15, sparking concerns about his performance. This year, Prescott has silenced doubts, cutting his interceptions nearly in half and poised to lead the NFL in touchdowns, with a remarkable 32 so far.
His 1.4 interception percentage is the second-lowest of his eight-season career, highlighting his improvement in protecting the ball. Prescott's 32 touchdown passes are tops in the NFL, with the San Francisco 49ers' Brock Purdy, who isn't playing, at second with 31. Trailing beyond that are the Green Bay Packers' Jordan Love (30 TD passes) and three others tied at 28.
Should Prescott finish the campaign with the TD toss crown, he would join Hall of Famer Roger Staubach (1973 season) as the only Cowboys QBs to lead the league in touchdown passes. He would also join another Hall of Famer, Bob Waterfield (1945-46), to lead the league in touchdowns a season after leading it in interceptions, per NFL Research.
Prescott's success isn't solely about stats; his focus remains on team performance and leading the Cowboys into the playoffs as the potential No. 2 seed. From a year of interceptions to a season poised for history, Prescott's remarkable turnaround has been exciting to watch this season. Now let's see what Dak and the Cowboys can do in the playoffs this year! 🌟🏆
