Prescott started off hot leading the Dallas offense for two touchdowns in the first three drives. Then for whatever reason the offense, including Prescott stalled and the would-be blowout became a knockdown, drag out battle to the final play.
The next seven drives for the Cowboys included two three and out punts, two interceptions, two field goals, and a turnover on downs. The first interception led to TD for the Texans, and the turnover on downs set them up for a field goal. In that stretch Houston outscored Dallas 10-6.
After an enormous stop by the Cowboys defense that kept them in contention for the game, Dak Prescott led his team on a game winning drive that went 98 yards on 11 plays. Dak was 6-for-7 for 89-yards passing and added two rushes for 15 yards. His single incompletion was a dropped TD pass to Michael Gallup.
He took a below-average performance and pulled out an elite game-winning drive, hitting throws between the Cover 2 defense Lovie Smith prefers, like the big play to a diving Noah Brown.
You can what you want about Dak Prescott’s performance through most of the game (he didn’t play great), but when it mattered the most & he needed a game winning drive, Dak was perfect. 2 great throws, especially this. 18th 4th Q comeback of his career. pic.twitter.com/0Ere83QeOo

This precision on the final drive to win this game is what earned Prescott the top star of the game.
