He promised that his interception total would decrease by 2023, but failed to mention that he would not only decrease his interception total, but become the first player since 1946 to lead the league in hitting. took the lead in the race. League of stops, here’s the Cowboys QB with one week left in the season. NFL.com’s Grant Gordon wrote,
“Had Prescott finished the campaign with the TD crown, had he been inducted into the Hall of Fame (1973 season), he would have led the league in passing for the Cowboys.” “He also joined fellow Hall of Famer Bob Waterfield (1945-46) in leading the league in interceptions a season after leading the league.”
There’s no guarantee Prescott will maintain his league lead on Sunday, but his closest competitor, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, will not play in Sunday afternoon’s game. That means the Ducks will have to beat out Jordan Love (30 touches), Tua Tagovailoa (28), Jared Goff (28) and Baker Mayfield (28). But Dak Prescott doesn’t care what his year-end numbers say about him.
“These are numbers. These are statistics. This is part of it. So I’m not interested in these things. Unfortunately, many big defenders have been injured this year.

What really fascinates Prescott is his persistent and quiet desire to drown out all the noise around him. So what does it do? “For me it’s about staying true to myself, continuing to work and not letting other people’s opinions, especially critics, influence my game or my attitude towards it.”
So far so good, but we all know Prescott’s success in Dallas will be measured by his ability to cut through all the hype and win in the playoffs.
