All eyes are on quarterback Dak Prescott to see if he can continue to build and lead the Dallas Cowboys (1-2-1) to a win against the struggling New York Jets (0-4) on Sunday (1 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app).
Last week against the Packers, Prescott threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns — each of which came on the Cowboys’ last three possessions of regulation — to help Dallas earn a 40-40 tie. Now, the Cowboys enter Week 5 with the NFL’s best offense (404.3 yards per game) and are fifth in scoring (28.5 points per game).
The Cowboys’ season started off shaky, however. They lost to the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in their season opener, narrowly escaped the New York Giants in overtime in Week 2 and then fell to the Chicago Bears by double digits in Week 3 after losing star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to an ankle injury.
Prescott isn’t discouraged, however, and neither is Derek Jeter.
“There’s a lot of attention [and] blame that goes with every part that occurs on the soccer area while you take a look at Dak,” Jeter mentioned on “FOX NFL Kickoff.” “I feel that is comprehensible. … He does an ideal job dealing with himself.
“Finally, what it boils right down to is successful. You have got to have the ability to win, and that modifications the narrative.”
