How long will the Cowboys play Dak Prescott on Sunday?

The last time we saw these two teams play, it was in week two and, boy was it a thriller to start the season. That now seems like a long gone memory as both of these teams are ready for the 2026 offseason.

With so many games this week, most are not even worth watching and that includes this one, even though it has been said that Dak Prescott will start, which is probably not the best idea.

Nonetheless, if you are still looking for where to catch the game and if you like to place bets, all that information you need for that is below, check it out.

Wrong Decision

I am all for playing for pride and letting the starters play last week, but this game Sunday is completely pointless for a guy like Dak Prescott to play.

It is all speculation, but Prescott has had two major surgeries and just had his healthiest year in a long time, yet they are running him out there in a game that means 100% nothing.

If something were to happen to him, how do you think the front office and head coach Brian Schottenhimer would feel answering to the media?

Just take a look at what has happened this season. Patrick Mahomes, Micah Parsons, Daniel Jones. I mean the injuries this season have been worse than I can remember, yet they are saying oh well and allowing the 60 million dollar man risk an injury in a game that does not matter.

The Cowboys are committed to the bit. Jerry Jones says Dak Prescott will start on Sunday vs Giants in the meaningless season final.
Let’s see how long he plays

“I’m not asking their opinion. We’re playing to win. But I guarantee you if I took a poll of guys in that locker room that wanted to play, every hand would shoot up, for all the reasons that I’ve said,” Schotty said last week.

“They love one another. They know we’re building something special here. Quite honestly, we’d love to not have a losing record, and then potentially go 5-1 in the division.”

Dallas knows what they have in Dak and CeeDee Lamb and all the others on offense. The Giants, on the other hand, have younger guys that they plan to play the full 60 minutes.

I understand the type of culture Schotty is trying to bring to this football team, but he showed it all year in the best way that he could.

He says he is playing to win and go 5-and-1 in the NFC. That is great and all, but how does that help them moving forward in 2026?

I am a fan of this team now and going forward, and if something were to happen to Dak or any of the other starters who will be out there for no reason, it will really stink when we get to August.

This team has enough issues to fix on the defensive side of the ball, including figuring out who in the heck is going to play, cornerback Trevon Diggs being released and signing with the Packers.

I hope we see Dallas go up about 15 or 20 in the first half, and they will pull the starters and be done with it. It has been one heck of a year, and I am glad we are finally at the end of it, and I hope next year we will see some improvement on the defensive side of the ball, or we will be right back in this spot in 2026.
