Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been making history all year long. Like, all-time NFL history. On multiple occasions.
He did it again on Sunday during the team’s thrilling win over the Baltimore Ravens, becoming the first rookie in the history of the league to pass for over 300 yards with at least two touchdowns and no interceptions two games in a row.

Prescott got off to a rough start early during Sunday’s game against Baltimore but finished with a nearly flawless performance. He connected on 20-of-21 passes to close out the game, finishing with 301 yards and three touchdowns passing the ball.
In Week 10 he was just as brilliant against the Pittsburgh Steelers, passing for 319 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
On the season, Prescott has put up numbers that compare favorably to any of the top quarterbacks around the league. Completing 67.7 percent of his passes, he has thrown for 2,640 yards with 17 touchdowns and just two interceptions.
Other quarterbacks have more yards and more touchdowns. But nobody can say Prescott doesn’t belong in the conversation as one of the elite quarterbacks of 2016.
We’re not ready to crown him as the next Peyton Manning. But for now, it’s impossible to ignore the insane production he’s putting up from week to week, not to mention Dallas’ 9-1 record.
