It\u2019s been kind of a strange year for the Cowboys, because, of course, they\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys have their franchise quarterback back in the fold, Dak Prescott, and that\u2019s good news, but honestly, some Cowboys fans seems to go hard on him. Sure, it\u2019s not easy being a quarterback, and there\u2019s a lot of pressure on quarterbacks like Prescott, but they can\u2019t do it all. Sometimes, the quarterback becomes the scapegoat if a team isn\u2019t doing well. We\u2019re looking at you New York Giants and Daniel Jones.<\/p>\n<p>But, Prescott is getting a much needed, and deserved, boost going into the 2025-26 season, and it\u2019s just in time for the Jets game. At least someone in the NFL has noticed that he\u2019s been delivering this season, and they\u2019re letting the world know.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dak Prescott is Having a Great Year With the Dallas Cowboys<\/h2>\n<p>Prescott is having a solid season with the Cowboys, even if that hasn\u2019t translated into wins. Nick Shook of the NFL\u2019s website has a piece out naming the best quarterbacks going into Week 5, published on Thursday, October 2.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>In the piece, he named Prescott as one of the five top tier quarterbacks in the league. That\u2019s such an honor.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys\u2018 1-2-1 record doesn\u2019t suggest it, but Dak Prescott is having a fantastic season,\u201d he says in the piece. \u201cHe 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\u2019s best throw of the year to\u00a0Jalen Tolbert\u00a0for a\u00a034-yard completion that set up their field goal in overtime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that \u201cPrescott is firing some unbelievable passes into tight windows and propelling the offense, even with CeeDee Lamb\u00a0sidelined.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>So, yes, Prescott is on top of his game. Let\u2019s see how he does against the Jets this weekend.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dallas Cowboys Predictions<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">As each week goes by, it seems like more and more analysts are noticing the Detroit Lions in a good way. In the NFL\u2019s latest power rankings going into Week 5, out on Tuesday, September 30, Eric Edholm puts the Lions at No. 3.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">\u201cDetroit was not prolific offensively against Cleveland, but no one has been this season,\u201d Edholm says. \u201cStill, this is the second time in four games where the Lions have been kept somewhat grounded on offense, even if they\u2019ve taken good care of the football. Committing five offensive penalties was out of character, and Detroit\u2019s still trying to hone the connection between Jared Goff and Jameson Williams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Do you think the Lions will pummel the Bengals on Sunday? Contact me with your game predictions. The Detroit Lions have a few more weeks left until they have their\u00a0Week 8 bye week, so let\u2019s hope for win after win leading up to it.<\/p>\n<p>Anne Erickson is an award-winning reporter for Heavy Sports covering the NFL, NBA and college football.
