Dallas Cowboys: 5 Bold predictions for Week 3 vs. Seahawks
By Randy Gurzi
1. Dak stays interception-free
For some reason, people want to continually doubt Dak Prescott. He’s done nothing but perform at a high level from day one but there continue to be those who doubt him —‚ and some could say his own team does as they have yet to sign him to a long term deal. After his start to the season, it’s getting harder for even the most ardent Dak hater to justify their disbelief in No. 4.
Throughout two games, Prescott has completed 68.6 percent of his passes for 716 yards and two touchdowns. He’s added another 48 yards and three touchdowns on the ground — with those three scores matching what he had for all of 2019. But what’s most impressive is how careful he has been with the ball.
Prescott has not thrown an interception and his only turnover came on Sunday when he was being sacked by Atlanta and tried to pitch the ball to Dalton Schultz. It was a bad play but with hoe poorly everything was going for them in that first quarter, it was understandable that he took such an ill-advised risk. Not excusable, but understandable.
Having said all that, the prediction here is that Prescott will not only continue to carve up defenses — especially the worst passing defense after two weeks — but that he will also continue to protect the ball.
Look for him to finish once again without an interception, which is something he has been good at avoiding throughout much of his young career.
