Four weeks into 2025, Prescott’s accuracy, poise, and leadership have kept Dallas alive despite injuries and defensive struggles.
DALLAS, Texas — Dak Prescott is elite. Period. The Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback has been forced to answer that question for most of his career, but after four weeks of the 2025 season, there’s no more room for debate. He belongs in the top tier of NFL quarterbacks.
Prescott has completed 121 of 166 passes (72.9 percent) for 1,119 yards, with six touchdowns against three interceptions, and a 95.4 passer rating. He’s top-five in passing yards, among the league leaders in completion rate, and he’s doing it all while carrying a Cowboys roster hit hard by injuries.
Elite play isn’t just about numbers — it’s about context. Prescott is putting up those numbers while missing key starters, adapting on the fly, and keeping Dallas alive in games they shouldn’t even be in.
A Statement in Dallas
The clearest proof came in Week 4 at home against the Packers. Prescott entered the game without CeeDee Lamb, his top receiver. The offensive line was already missing rookie guard Tyler Booker (ankle) and center Cooper Beebe (injured reserve). Then, late in the game, left tackle Tyler Guyton left with a concussion.
That left Prescott with a patchwork offensive line and no WR1. Instead of folding, he flourished. He completed 31 of 40 passes for 319 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions, while adding a rushing score. He spread the ball across the field, controlled the tempo, and put Dallas in position to win.
That is what elite quarterbacks do: they don’t just survive adversity, they rise above it.
Consistency in Every Situation
Elite means more than one great performance. Prescott has shown it all season.
- In Week 1 vs. Philadelphia, he threw for 188 yards, no scores — but no turnovers, either — against one of the NFL’s toughest defenses.
- In Week 2 vs. the Giants, he exploded for 361 yards and two touchdowns.
- In Week 3 vs. Chicago, he added 251 yards and a score under constant pressure.
- In Week 4 vs. Green Bay, in Dallas, he played one of the best games of his career, delivering four total touchdowns.
Through it all, Prescott has been poised, accurate, and adaptive. He’s winning in different ways each week — with the deep ball, the short game, his legs, and his leadership.
Carrying the Cowboys
The Cowboys are 1-2-1, and that record has far more to do with the defense than with Prescott. Dallas has allowed over 420 yards per game, one of the worst marks in the league. It’s Prescott who has kept them competitive, who has erased deficits, and who has elevated players around him.
That’s what separates good quarterbacks from elite ones. Good quarterbacks need things to go right around them. Elite quarterbacks give their team a chance no matter the circumstances. Prescott has done exactly that through four weeks.
No More Debate
Prescott has carried the weight of narratives for years — about his contract, about his ceiling, about whether he could win big games. Four weeks into this season, those questions don’t matter anymore. The reality on the field answers them all.
He is accurate. He is efficient. He is resilient. He is a leader. Most importantly, he is elite.
The Cowboys may have issues elsewhere on the roster, but they don’t have a quarterback problem. They have one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
Dak Prescott doesn’t need qualifiers or caveats. He doesn’t need to prove himself again. His 2025 season has already done that. What he needs is recognition. Because the truth is clear: Dak Prescott is elite, and he’s carrying the Cowboys with him.
