Prescott completed 29 of 42 pass attempts for 352 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while adding three rushing yards on one attempt in Sunday's 20-17 win over Pittsburgh. A lengthy weather delay and slow start on offense had the Cowboys in danger of falling to 2-3 on the season. Prescott carried the team in the second half, throwing two touchdowns to lift his team past a difficult defense on the road. The 31-year-old connected with Jalen Tolbert on his second scoring strike in the closing moments of Sunday night's win. Prescott has thrown for two touchdowns and no interceptions for three weeks running, eclipsing 350 passing yards in two of those three contests. The 3-2 Cowboys will prepare to face the Lions in a home tilt next Sunday.
Prescott completed 22 of 27 passes for 221 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two carries for minus-1 yard in the Cowboys' 20-15 win over the Giants on Thursday night. It wasn't the prettiest of wins for the Cowboys, but Prescott was able to play a clean, highly efficient game while taking only one sack. The veteran signal-caller connected with seven different targets, hitting the duo of CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson for seven catches apiece to lead the way. Prescott linked up with Rico Dowdle and Lamb for touchdown passes of 15 and 55 yards, respectively, in the first half, generating his second two-TD tally through the air in the last five days. Prescott and his teammates next gear up for a challenging road interconference clash with the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 6.
Prescott completed 28 of 51 pass attempts for 379 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 28-25 loss to Baltimore. He added two rushes for seven yards and an additional touchdown. Prescott and the Cowboys fell behind early, which led to a particularly pass-heavy offense. He was able to orchestrate several big plays, highlighted by six completions of at least 20 yards. Prescott also led an effective rally that came up just short, which included a one-yard rushing score as well as passing touchdowns of 15 and 16 yards. While it didn't lead to success for Dallas, Prescott had by far his best statistical performance heading into a matchup Thursday against an exploitable Giants defense.
Prescott completed 27 of 39 passes for 293 yards and one touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints. He added 12 rushing yards on two carries. Despite the final score, much of Prescott's production came in the first half, as Dallas put together a couple long drives but couldn't get the ball into the end zone while the defense was getting obliterated by Alvin Kamara and the New Orleans offense. Neither interception was entirely Prescott's fault, either -- the first came when his receiver stumbled out of his break, and the second came in the fourth quarter when his team was down by three scores, and the QB was in desperation mode. Prescott only has two TD passes through his first two games, and he faces a tough test in Week 3 against a frustrated Ravens squad.
Prescott completed 19 of 32 passes for 179 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 33-17 win over Cleveland. Prescott dominated headlines before kickoff by signing a four-year, $240 million extension, though he was asked to do relatively little in Dallas' dominant Week 1 win. The team was up 27-3 with 13 minutes remaining in the third quarter, so Prescott took to the air only 11 times for 23 yards in the second half. That sample also hurt his efficiency numbers, but Prescott was able to move the ball when needed by completing a long pass of 34 yards to CeeDee Lamb as well as a 21-yard touchdown to Brandin Cooks.
The Cowboys and Prescott reached an agreement on a four-year, $240 million contract Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Mere hours before Prescott was poised to kick off the 2024 campaign, he finally reached a resolution as he sought an extension. He's thus locked in with Dallas through the 2028 season, when he'll be 35 years old. Prescott is coming off his third 4,000-yard season in five years in 2023, when he also tossed an NFL-high 36 TD passes.
Prescott is not in line to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Per Machota, the plan is for Trey Lance to play the entire game, which would set the stage for both Prescott and Cooper Rush to be held out versus Los Angeles. Prescott's next game action is thus slated to occur on the road against Cleveland on Sept. 8.
Prescott isn't in uniform ahead of Saturday's preseason game at Las Vegas, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Prescott sat out the Cowboys' exhibition opener last Sunday against the Rams due to a sore ankle, but he was able to return to practice Tuesday and participate fully one day later. Nonetheless, coach Mike McCarthy will opt to keep Prescott and likely a number of other starters on the sideline this weekend. Prescott is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he tossed for 4,516 yards, 36 touchdowns and nine interceptions while rushing for 242 yards and two more scores in 17 regular-season contests.
Prescott (ankle) will be a full participant in Wednesday's joint practice with the Rams, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Prescott was given a precautionary day off last Friday due to ankle soreness, but the issue is no longer hampering him. If the Cowboys elect to play key starters during Saturday's road preseason game against the Raiders, Prescott will thus be in line to start after having missed the team's exhibition opener against Los Angeles. Prescott is still working without star wideout CeeDee Lamb (holdout) at practice, as the No. 1 receiver remains away from team activities amid an ongoing contract dispute.
