Dak Prescott Had A Mediocre Game Against The Falcons
Throughout the game, Prescott had a relatively mediocre game.
He completed 18 of 24 passes for 133 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions for a 101.6 rating. Even if Dallas did come out on top, it wouldn’t be on the shoulders of Dak’s performance.
