This past Sunday, the Dallas crowd saw the return of Dak Prescott for the Cowboys, as they destroyed the Lions. Notably, Prescott suffered a hand injury in the opening game against the Bucs, that ruled him out for five games. In his absence, backup quarterback Cooper Rush started, and he played really well.
As per reports, Prescott chose the Lions for his comeback, as he has a great record against them. Certainly, his comeback was nothing less than spectacular, as ‘America’s Team’ got back to the winning ways after suffering defeat against the Eagles last week. Meanwhile, fans are overjoyed with Prescott’s return, as they took to social media to express their feelings about the quarterback.

Meanwhile, one fan evaluated the return of Prescott and did a detailed analysis between his performance and Cooper Rush’s performance.
My initial Dak Prescott evaluation…
He holds the ball longer than Cooper Rush, so our offensive line doesn't look near as good. A few throws were terrible. Downfield shots and extending plays are nice to have back. It was as expected. Not great, but necessary.

On the other hand, one fan took a dig at those who did not feel Prescott’s return was not that impressive.
Y’all got so whiny and agitated, and yet when it’s all said and done, Dak Prescott’s stat line:
18-24 205 yards, 1 TD, 0int, 100.2 passer rating
Not like he lit the world on fire, of course… but some of y’all were acting like he was playing horribly.
Chillllll.

Dak Prescott comes back and mysteriously the Dallas Cowboys have their first 3-Touchdown game of the year. Coincidence? I think not.
