Dak Prescott stays hot, keeps Cowboys rolling against Seahawks - ESPN

ARLINGTON — Dak Prescott is not going to get carried away with a fourth straight win or a late-game touchdown drive or three more scoring passes.

The Dallas Cowboys' 41-35 win against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night was just Prescott doing what he believes he should be doing.

«My expectations, honestly,» Prescott said. «I put a lot in this game. I prepare my ass off. Got amazing coaches and players around me right now doing the exact same. So I just really think that's the expectations that I have for myself, the standard that we've created as an offense and how we're comfortable playing this game.»

Prescott has never been as comfortable. In his past seven games, he has 21 touchdown passes, including three against Seattle, and just two interceptions. The Cowboys are 6-1 since losing Oct. 8 to the San Francisco 49ers, and Prescott was able to drive an offense Thursday that did not punt, scoring on eight of 10 offensive possessions that included a kneel-down to end the victory.

Head coach Mike McCarthy said Prescott's play has been reminiscent of what he saw Aaron Rodgers do in his MVP seasons when they were together with the Green Bay Packers.

«Dak's playing great ball. It's fun when you're in this rhythm,» McCarthy said. «He has such great command. And it's just a connection with his teammates. We're getting in and out of things seamlessly. We're playing with really good pace. And that's how we want to attack. You can only do it with a championship-caliber quarterback. And Dak is that guy.»

Prescott has yet to get the Cowboys past the divisional round of the playoffs, but there is nothing he can do about that until January. At 9-3, the Cowboys look like they are on their way to a third straight playoff season,
