Stephen A. Smith Analyzes What's Hurting Dak Prescott In the 'SNF' Game

In a thrilling showdown on Sunday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys battled the Green Bay Packers to a 40-40 stalemate, showcasing Dak Prescott's impressive performance. The quarterback completed 31 out of 40 passes for 319 yards and threw three touchdowns, adding a rushing touchdown as well, all while skillfully evading his former team member, Micah Parsons. However, Stephen A. Smith urged fans to temper their excitement regarding Prescott's display against a formidable Super Bowl competitor. On Monday's episode of First Take, Smith queried, “Why are we treating this like a major achievement?” and pointed out, “Dak Prescott is significantly above .500 as a starter.” He emphasized that Prescott's regular-season performance is consistently stronger during November and December compared to earlier months, yet questioned his effectiveness in January's playoffs. Smith lamented that when postseason time arrives, Prescott becomes elusive, stating, “[He] is harder to find.”
