His numbers could have been even bigger, but Dallas hit cruise control in the second half with a hefty lead.<\/p>\n<p>After the game, Prescott appeared at the podium with a bandage on his left hand \u2014 a sight that sparked some concern. He quickly downplayed any notion that it would impact him moving forward. Prescott called it a \u201cBritt special,\u201d referencing long-time Cowboys trainer\u00a0Britt Brown.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cA little Britt special just to take the swelling down,\u201d\u00a0said Prescott, who played every snap in the 44-22 win. \u201cI usually throw my left hand to cover the ball when I get hit. It usually takes a lot of helmets, so I\u2019m sure it was just a facemask. Nothing unusual, honestly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"76afcca12cbe02505b6a0de4e6457c9e\" class=\"embed_container\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container\">\n<article class=\"tweet-container_article\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container_header \"><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Bolsters MVP Case<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Prescott has firmly inserted himself into the MVP conversation, and his latest outing only strengthened that case. Through seven games, he\u2019s thrown for 1,881 yards, 16 touchdowns, and just three interceptions \u2014 elite efficiency from the Cowboys signal-caller, who leads the league in QBR.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, Dallas snapped back into the win column on Sunday, handling a division rival in convincing fashion. With a healthy CeeDee Lamb and\u00a0George Pickens\u00a0helping the offense find its rhythm,\u00a0Prescott believes the best is yet to come.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt was great. It was explosive, it was fun. You saw the big plays and the drives we put together. The standard and expectation for us is high,\u201d\u00a0Prescott said. \u201cI think more of our games are going to look like this.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">The Cowboys moved to 3-3-1 with the win against the Commanders.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Praises Pass-Catchers<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Prescott said that having both Lamb and Pickens at his disposal makes him confident in just about any pass he throws their way. Lamb had five catches for 110 yards and a touchdown in his first game back after sitting out three games with an ankle injury. Pickens snagged four catches for 82 yards.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">\u201cThose are two dudes, and the other guys are well. Wherever the ball goes, I\u2019m confident that when it leaves my hand, a play is going to be made if that guy has a chance,\u201d Prescott said. \u201cWhen those two guys get it, it can be very explosive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Prescott has put together a standout season, but what he\u2019s most proud of is his improved ball security. Even with an emphasis on cutting down interceptions, he\u2019s stayed aggressive and confident pushing the ball downfield.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\"><em>\u201cJust trying to be smart with it. But not hesitant, scared, or cautious\u201d Prescott said. \u201cI\u2019m taking my chances and have tons of confidence in what I can do and where I can put it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Prescott and the Cowboys have a chance to keep the momentum rolling when they head to Denver next week to see the\u00a0Broncos. Dallas will host the\u00a0Arizona Cardinals\u00a0in Week 9 before heading into their bye week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Sparks Injury Concerns With Postgame Look After dismantling the Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys quarterback\u00a0Dak Prescott\u00a0arrived at his postgame press conference wearing an accessory&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":109943,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-109942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>REPORT: Fans worry after Dak Prescott\u2019s postgame appearance \u2014 does his look signal a potential injury that could affect the Cowboys&#039; season?
