The Dallas Cowboys <\/a>had one of the most productive offenses in the league during the 2025-26 campaign. Despite failing to qualify for the playoffs, Dallas<\/a> ranked No. 2 in total offense (379.4 yards per game) and No. 7 in scoring offense (27.7 points per game).<\/p>\n

Much of that success can be attributed to star quarterback Dak Prescott. The veteran signal-caller rebounded from a season-ending hamstring injury to start all 17 games for the Cowboys<\/a> last season. Prescott completed 404\/600 passes for 4,552 yards with 30 touchdowns to ten interceptions while adding two more scores on the ground.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, NFL.com’s Nick Shook ranked<\/a> all 63 quarterbacks that started a game last season.<\/p>\n

Shook slotted Prescott in as a Tier 1 QB, sitting at No. 3 overall behind Los Angeles’ Matthew Stafford and Buffalo’s Josh Allen but ahead of New England’s Drake Maye, Los Angeles’ Justin Herbert, and Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence.<\/p>\n

Prescott was the only signal-caller from the NFC to make the top-6. Seattle’s Sam Darnold, who recently guided the Seahawks to a Super Bowl, came in at No. 7.<\/p>\n

“Dak Prescott\u00a0was the reason the Cowboys finished anywhere near .500 this season,” Shook wrote. “He proved himself as one of the NFL’s best passers, completing a league-high 404 attempts for 4,552 yards and 30 touchdowns.”<\/p>\n

“He [Prescott] powered\u00a0George Pickens’ career-best season and reminded us of his value throughout Dallas’ up-and-down campaign,” Shook added. “The hope is that the Cowboys can maximize his talents better in 2026.”<\/p>\n

Prescott should continue to sit in the upper echelon with head coach Brian Schottenheimer heading into his second year leading the Cowboys. Dallas is putting a strong focus on maintaining continuity on offense, with goals to re-sign wide receiver George Pickens and running backs coach Javonte Williams.<\/p>\n

During his career, Prescott has thrown for 35,989 yards with 243 touchdowns to 92 interceptions.<\/p>\n
