The Dallas Cowboys defeated the New York Jets 37-22 on Sunday, with Dak Prescott delivering the type of performance that validates the franchise’s championship aspirations.
Prescott carved up New York’s defense for 237 yards and four touchdowns, directing the offense with precision throughout the afternoon.
His efficiency reminded everyone why Dallas made him the league’s highest-paid quarterback.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer didn’t hold back in his postgame assessment of his signal-caller.
The first-year coach has built his system around maximizing Prescott’s strengths, and summed it up, saying the team feels “spoiled” having Prescott at the helm.
“I think we’re spoiled. I think he’s one of the best players in the league. He’s playing with a ton of confidence,” Schottenheimer said, per Jon Machota.

When Prescott operates at this level, the Cowboys transform into a dangerous offensive force.
Through four games, his numbers reflect consistent excellence rather than occasional brilliance.
He ranks second in the NFL with 1,136 passing yards while completing 10 touchdowns against just three interceptions.
The MVP conversation has resurfaced quickly, though Dallas understands that early-season success means little without sustained performance.
Schottenheimer spent the offseason assembling a coaching staff designed specifically around Prescott’s skill set.
Talent has never been questioned with Prescott throughout his career.
The focus now shifts to maintaining this standard week after week as the season progresses.
If he continues playing at this pace through the remainder of the year, the Cowboys will have concrete evidence of just how fortunate they are at football’s most important position.
Dak Prescott himself emphasized the mindset the Dallas Cowboys must carry against every opponent, regardless of record.
After the game, he also stressed the importance of not underestimating anyone, even the now 0-5 Jets.
