The talk of the NFL coming into the season opener was about quarterback Dak Prescott’s rust and how it could influence his performance against one of the best defenses in football. Prescott hasn’t missed a beat, throwing a ridiculous 47 passes in three quarters and completing 35 of them.
After a dropped pass by wide receiver CeeDee Lamb resulted in an interception in the third quarter, the Buccaneers snatched the opportunity and scored a touchdown to make it a 28-19 lead. For the third time in the game, though, Prescott responded to a Tampa Bay touchdown with one of his own. Starting on the 25, the offense moved smoothly down the field and finished the job this time. Prescott delivered his third touchdown pass of the game, second to wide receiver Amari Cooper on a 25-yard score.

Prescott already has 331 passing yards in the game and hasn’t shown any signs of fatigue as the game begins to approach the closing moments.
