Dak Prescott owns the New York Giants. The Dallas Cowboys haven’t dropped a Prescott-started game to their northern rival since 2016, his rookie year. Tyler Booker, the team’s first-round pick this April, was twelve years old when that game happened. Additionally, those two rookie-season losses came from a combined four points. Since then, Prescott has outscored the Giants 416-208.
So, again, Prescott absolutely owns the Giants.It’s a good time to revisit that, considering his 13-game winning streak will be put to the test tomorrow. It’s a huge game, as Dallas falling to 0-2 would badly injure their long-term chances in 2025. Right now, the Cowboys are a 5.5-point favorite; that’s a favorable spread, but it doesn’t represent the sheer dominance Dallas has had over New York in recent years. With all of this in mind, let’s take a closer look at Prescott’s last three matchups with Big Blue and what it means for tomorrow’s showdown.
Week 4, 2024: Dak Prescott’s High-Completion, 20-15 Win
Before Dak Prescott went down with his season-ending hamstring injury last season, he managed his best performance of his shortened year against the Giants.In Week 4, the All-Pro quarterback completed a stellar 22 of 27 passes; that comes out to an 81.5% completion percentage. He added two passing touchdowns, no interceptions, and 221 yards on top of it. Dak Prescott owns the New York Giants.

While he did his thing, it was a break from recent years, as New York kept it awfully close at 20-15. This could be a warning sign when it comes to Sunday’s game. We’ve seen a regression from Dallas recently, as they’ve transitioned from being an NFC favorite to a middle-of-the-pack roster. We’ll see if this game was an outlier or a trend tomorrow.
