Prescott"s incredible improvement this season is evident, especially considering he had a league-leading 15 interceptions last year. In contrast, this season, he boasts 23 touchdowns with just six interceptions, and his passer rating of 107.4 is the best in his career.
While the MVP race is typically dominated by quarterbacks from the top AFC and NFC teams, the Cowboys still need to secure the NFC East for Prescott to have a real shot, especially with strong competition from Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Currently, the Cowboys are two games behind the Eagles, but a win against the Seahawks, coupled with an Eagles loss to the 49ers, could set up a crucial Week 14 showdown for the division lead.
Prescott credits the team"s success to the organization, coaches, and everyone handling their responsibilities efficiently. He emphasizes the importance of the team"s process, from game planning to executing on the field. Despite his individual achievements, Prescott"s focus remains on team victories, highlighting the ongoing effort to grow and improve week by week.
