The NFC East continues baffling the entire NFL world. Over the last 18 seasons, no team has emerged victorious back-to-back from the division. Despite these challenges, Dallas Cowboys made back-to-back playoff appearances, a feat that hadn’t been achieved since 2007. While the improved statistics show light at the end of the tunnel, the Cowboys’ QB1, Dak Prescott, is still being dubbed as a ‘question mark’ and maybe his mental resilience has reached its limits.

While the Dallas Cowboys enjoyed themselves a fairly successful 2022 season, the same cannot be said for Dak Prescott. Prescott averaged his lowest completion percentage in the last four seasons while coming up as the most turnover-prone quarterback in football. Prescott certainly wishes he could take back the two interceptions thrown during the playoffs against the 49ers costing the Cowboys their season. Despite all this fans are still rallying behind Prescott while he deals with his own demons.

The loss of Prescott’s brother added to the struggles that he had already been facing ever since losing his mother. It was then the COVID pandemic that added to his anxiety.
