Quarterback Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys have yet to agree on a new contract. In the meantime, fans debate Prescott’s worth. I have argued that Dak hasn’t earned a big contract. His 2019 statistics are impressive in some ways but lack a single fourth-quarter comeback or game-winning drive. He also failed to outperform opposing quarterbacks in the eight Cowboys losses this past season.
Determined to prove my argument, I looked through every game from 2006 through 2019. I calculated the number of opportunities for fourth-quarter game-winning drives and how many times former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and Prescott came through.
