Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 15 of 27 passes for 212 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions in a Week 7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He added eight yards on two carries.
Why It Matters: It was a “less is more” approach from Prescott in Week 7. After four straight one-touchdown efforts, Prescott threw for three TDs despite establishing season lows in completions (15) and attempts (27) — that was half as many attempts as he had in last Sunday’s loss to Green Bay. We’ll see if this represents a full-blown change in strategy or if Dallas simply felt the Eagles were uniquely unable to handle their ground game. It makes valuing Prescott a bit confusing, though, as he’s typically been a decent QB1 but had slipped toward the border of QB1/QB2 territory with his recent struggles around the end zone. We should learn more about Dallas’ strategy in Week 8 against a Cardinals defense that has had issues in pass defense.
