The Cowboys lost to the Raiders, but their superstar quarterback gave them a chance to win a game that quickly seemed to get out of hand.
Dak Prescott is one of the top quarterbacks in the league and that doesn’t have to be discounted just because the Cowboys let the game slip away in the last seconds after a valiant comeback effort. When the Cowboys needed to get down the field and score points when they were down big to the Raiders, Prescott delivered clutch throws for them and reminded everyone why the Cowboys gave him a long-term contract to be the team’s quarterback for a long time.
Prescott’s accuracy has become his trademark trait as he’s developed in the NFL. Just watch this rocket to Michael Gallup.

Prescott also hit a tight window pass to tight end Dalton Schultz to tie the game at 30 with two minutes left in the games — after the Cowboys were down 27-19 entering the fourth quarter.

This was an MVP-caliber performance from Prescott — 375 yards, two touchdowns, eight yards per attempt. These are the type of performances that remind everyone that the Cowboys still have a shot as long as Prescott is on the field.
The Cowboys have some issues to iron how considering they’ve lost three of their last four, but quarterback is at least one thing they don’t have to worry about.
