"What I expect is not the unexpected. What last year represented relative to turnovers was unexpected," Jones said, via The Athletic.

"I expect to see what we expect from Dak, which is don’t turn the ball over, be protective of the ball. When I think of Dak, that’s the first thing that comes to my mind. That’s what he does good."

Prescott has a solid career interception percentage of 2%, but last season he threw interceptions on 3.8% of his passes.
