The Dallas Cowboys and are up against the New York Jets on Sunday, October 5, and it’s another big game for the franchise. It’s been kind of a strange year for the Cowboys, because, of course, they’re missing star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, due to an injury, and are also getting their feet wet with a new head coach in head coach is Brian Schottenheimer, who took over for former head coach Mike McCarthy in January.
The Cowboys have their franchise quarterback back in the fold, Dak Prescott, and that’s good news, but honestly, some Cowboys fans seems to go hard on him. Sure, it’s not easy being a quarterback, and there’s a lot of pressure on quarterbacks like Prescott, but they can’t do it all. Sometimes, the quarterback becomes the scapegoat if a team isn’t doing well. We’re looking at you New York Giants and Daniel Jones.
But, Prescott is getting a much needed, and deserved, boost going into the 2025-26 season, and it’s just in time for the Jets game. At least someone in the NFL has noticed that he’s been delivering this season, and they’re letting the world know.
Dak Prescott is Having a Great Year With the Dallas Cowboys
Prescott is having a solid season with the Cowboys, even if that hasn’t translated into wins. Nick Shook of the NFL’s website has a piece out naming the best quarterbacks going into Week 5, published on Thursday, October 2.
In the piece, he named Prescott as one of the five top tier quarterbacks in the league. That’s such an honor.
The Cowboys‘ 1-2-1 record doesn’t suggest it, but Dak Prescott is having a fantastic season,” he says in the piece. “He put together an excellent performance in a shootout with the Packers, completing 31-of-40 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns, including arguably the NFL’s best throw of the year to Jalen Tolbert for a 34-yard completion that set up their field goal in overtime.”
He added that “Prescott is firing some unbelievable passes into tight windows and propelling the offense, even with CeeDee Lamb sidelined.”
So, yes, Prescott is on top of his game. Let’s see how he does against the Jets this weekend.
Dallas Cowboys Predictions
As each week goes by, it seems like more and more analysts are noticing the Detroit Lions in a good way. In the NFL’s latest power rankings going into Week 5, out on Tuesday, September 30, Eric Edholm puts the Lions at No. 3.
“Detroit was not prolific offensively against Cleveland, but no one has been this season,” Edholm says. “Still, this is the second time in four games where the Lions have been kept somewhat grounded on offense, even if they’ve taken good care of the football. Committing five offensive penalties was out of character, and Detroit’s still trying to hone the connection between Jared Goff and Jameson Williams.”
