At the beginning of the Dallas Cowboys 2017 season, the biggest question outside of will running back Ezekiel Elliott play a full 16-games was: Would quarterback Dak Prescott be able to avoid a sophomore slump? That question was quickly answered as Prescott’s numbers fell drastically from his rookie season.
According to Pro Football Reference, 2017 was a statistical rollercoaster for the Cowboys second-year quarterback.
Prescott’s QBR fell from 104.9 to 86.6, total passing yards fell from 3,667 to 3,324, yards per pass attempt (YPA) fell from 8.0 to 6.
