Dallas 29, Philadelphia 23 (OT): Without Precedent

For a franchise that has had so many great starting quarterbacks, it would seem difficult for a rookie to accomplish more than all of them to open his career. Dak Prescott is doing just that.

  • It took Don Meredith three seasons before he started as many games as Dak Prescott, and Meredith’s starting record as a starter was a losing one until several years into his career.
  • Craig Morton was a good backup and a good starter, but his record as a starter during the first four years of his career was 3-2.
  • Roger Staubach famously had a 10-0 record in 1971, but he was also 29 years old at the time.
