ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dak Prescott had to say the number twice, as if the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback didn’t believe it or was disgusted by it.
“Nine?” he said. “Niiiiiine?”
Yes, nine. Nine interceptions in eight starts.
Prescott saved the Cowboys on Sunday with a 98-yard drive in the final minutes to beat the Houston Texans 27-23. He completed 6 of 7 passes for 79 yards on the drive before Ezekiel Elliott’s game-winning rushing touchdown with 41 seconds to play.
The only incompletion was a drop by Michael Gallup after he took a big hit in the end zone.
