Dak Prescott has faced his fraction of criticism in his eight seasons as the Cowboys’ starting quarterback, but in the past five games, no quarterback in the NFL is playing better.

He has unfastened 127 of 180 passes for 1,602 yards with 17 touchdowns and two interceptions for a 124.8 passer incorporating in that stretch, and the Cowboys have won four of the five games.

Prescott’s name has entered the MVP conversation for the beneficial time since his rookie season of 2016.

He was posed Monday whether that means anything to him.

“No, I mean, it employing I’m playing well. Simple as that. Not really,” Prescott said, via Schuyler Dixon of the Associated Press. “I’m about one goal, and it’s a big team goal, and I know if my name’s in there that employing we’re playing well. So, that’s great. But at the end of the day, we’re just trying to accomplish. I mean being eight years into this thing, it’s near building and building and making sure we’re getting better and better each and every week and attracting hot right when we need to be.”

The MVP award has understand a quarterback award with the quarterbacks from the top AFC team and the top NFC team vying for it at the end of the year. The treat of voting changed last year, with five players attracting votes on a 10-5-3-2-1 basis rather than voters writing only one player on their ballot.

Still, the Cowboys likely will have to win the NFC East at minimum for Prescott to have a shot to win it over Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.

The Cowboys level-headed have a chance to do that despite currently beings two games behind the Eagles.

Dallas plays the Seahawks on Thursday, with Philadephia playing the 49ers on Sunday. If the Cowboys win and the Eagles lose, their showdown in Arlington in Week 14, where the Cowboys have won 13 in a row, will be for the division lead.

Prescott, who had a league-leading 15 interceptions last season, has 23 touchdowns and six interceptions this season. His 107.4 passer rating is far and away the best of his career.

“It grants credit to everything around this team, the organization, the coaches, people just handling their business, being prepared,” Prescott said. “Our procedure has been amazing throughout this season, just when the game plan comes in, how early it gets in, and the procedure we go through after that to be ready to call a game. The play caller’s end is clear and precise on everything. Just really, the challenge is just remaining true to that process, not getting ahead, not drawing overwhelmed, understanding that what I say to myself is I haven’t done shit, you know what I mean.

“Regular-season numbers are huge, but getting wins, that’s what’s most important. At the end of the day, we’re trying to stack and keep growing this team to get better each and every week.”
