A number of Dallas Cowboys fans chanted “MVP” as Dak Prescott ran off the field during Week 5’s 37-22 win over the New York Jets.
Prescott heard, but he’s not getting ahead of himself.
“I mean, my ears work, so I heard it, but I didn’t hear it. It’s Week 5. I don’t care,” he told reporters. “I don’t care if it was Week 17. I’ve told y’all what I want to win, the team goals. Right now, the success and the continued success is going to happen, [and] it’s just a beneficiary of all the guys in that locker room.”
While the Cowboys are only 2-2-1 this season, Prescott has undeniably gotten off to a strong start and continued it on Sunday, finishing 18-of-29 for 237 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. He now has 1,356 yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions through five games, and of late has had to do it without superstar receiver CeeDee Lamb.
“Look, I think we’re spoiled,” head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters. “I think he’s one of the best players in the league. He’s certainly one of the best teammates and leaders out there that I’ve ever been around. The guys believe in him. He’s playing with a ton of confidence right now.”
Prescott has always been an excellent September-through-November quarterback. The knock on him traditionally has been that he doesn’t maintain that level once the more important games roll around later in the season or during the playoffs.
For now, however, he has some fans thinking MVP.
