“Needs to be ‘Dak Prescott’ of the first six weeks”: Dan Orlovsky reckons Dak Prescott desperately needs to pull up his socks for the Playoffs

Dak Prescott is undoubtedly a megastar in the world of American football. The man has been a huge part of the Cowboys unit and has led the offense nicely. One has to admit that he has well and truly earned the hefty amount he receives from his franchise.

However, Prescott’s recent form has been below-par, to say the least. Although he looked comfortable in the game against the Giants, before that contest, throughout November and December, Prescott has completed 63.1% of his passes for 1,568 yards, eight touchdowns, and just six interceptions.

Without a doubt, better performances are expected from Prescott, especially when his side is starting to lose momentum. After 3 wins and 3 losses in 6 games, they managed to win against the Giants, however, if they are eying the ultimate glory, the offense led by Prescott needs to step up to the task.

Talking about the same, Dan Orlovsky had a few points to make. He claimed that if Dak Prescott strikes form, the Cowboys will be really hard to stop in the playoffs. However, he also stated that if Prescott is struggling due to the calf injury, the chances of his performance getting drastically better in a span of days is unlikely.

“Everyone is saying Dak Prescott is playing poorly since the calf injury. Well, if it hasn’t got better in the last two months the I don’t think it will in the next two weeks,” Dan claimed. “I think he has struggled for a multitude of reasons. I am concerned about his performance without Tyron Smith.”

“For them to win a playoff game, he’s gonna have to look like Dak Prescott the first six weeks of the season,” Dan stated, adding that the Cowboys also need to take good care of Tyron Smith if they want to keep winning. The boys from Dallas will next take on Washington in their next game.
