As the start of the 2023 NFL season approaches, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott faces high expectations and scrutiny. During a recent appearance on the show "Don't @ Me," Texas Governor Greg Abbott expressed his desire to see the Cowboys back in the Super Bowl and challenged Prescott to step up and win a big game. Abbott acknowledged Prescott's talent as a quarterback based on his stats but emphasized the need for him to prove himself in crucial moments.
Prescott's performance in the playoffs has been a point of discussion. He holds a 2-4 postseason record as the Cowboys' starter. Last season, the Cowboys won a wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but were defeated by the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round.
Despite criticism, the Cowboys organization, including owner Jerry Jones, has consistently expressed their commitment to Prescott and their belief in his abilities. Prescott signed a four-year contract extension in 2021, and there is little reason to believe the Cowboys won't extend his contract further.
As the Cowboys aim to secure a spot in the Super Bowl for the first time since 1995, all eyes will be on Prescott to see if he can rise to the challenge and lead his team to victory in critical moments.
