Since stepping onto the field as the Dallas Cowboys’ starting quarterback in 2016, Dak Prescott has carved out a legacy defined by leadership, resilience, and dominance, particularly within his own division.
Prescott boasts a stellar 33-8 career record against NFC East opponents, a mark that highlights his consistent ability to deliver in one of the NFL’s most competitive and scrutinized divisions.
Prescott’s success has come against the backdrop of ever-changing rivals.
Whether facing the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders, or New York Giants, he has consistently risen to the occasion.
Division Dominance
His division wins have often come in crucial moments, battles for playoff positioning, primetime matchups, and must-win situations.
Prescott’s poise and control at the line of scrimmage, coupled with his dual-threat capability, have been critical factors in his NFC East success.
Under Prescott, the Cowboys have regularly finished atop the division standings, appearing in the playoffs multiple times.
While the team’s postseason success remains a topic of scrutiny, there’s no denying Prescott’s ability to command the NFC East.
With the return of a healthy offensive line, a potent receiving corps led by wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, and an innovative coaching staff, Prescott remains the division’s gold standard under center.
Despite the Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl a season ago and maintaining a talented roster for 2025, the Cowboys, led by Prescott’s commanding 33-8 division record, should be considered NFC East favorites.
That mark of success is more than a stat; it’s a trend that spans nearly a decade. Prescott hasn’t just beaten division rivals, he’s owned them.
Even in seasons where the Eagles surged nationally, the Cowboys consistently took care of business within the division.
Prescott’s familiarity with rival defenses, ability to exploit mismatches, and overall consistency give Dallas a competitive edge few teams can match.
Until another quarterback proves capable of consistently beating Prescott in divisional play, the Cowboys should enter each season as the NFC East team to beat.
The Field
By comparison, the rest of the NFC East quarterbacks just don’t match up to Prescott’s dominance in the division.
Yes, I know Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is fresh off of a Super Bowl victory, and newest New York Giant Russell Wilson has a win with his time with Seattle.
However, Hurts has a 16-9 record vs the NFC East, already one more loss than Prescott in five fewer seasons.
Wilson is new to the division, and his backup, rookie Jaxson Dart, might not even play this season.
Washington’s Jayden Daniels is entering his sophomore season, and posted a 4-2 record in the division last year.
For now, the division remains Dak Prescott’s domain. A veteran quarterback with the stats, wins, and experience to back up his claim as king of the East.
This is the goofiest, most delusional article ever !
What a homer, this is click bait. Go Eagles!
Funniest article I’ve read in a while. Clearly, it’s satire, right?
The NFC East was known as the NFC Least for a good while, so QB1 “dominating” this division was no great shakes IMO. But things have changed recently, so now we’ll see how the 60-million-dollar man responses soon enough.
BTW, I recently read something I didn’t realize, which makes QB1’s two playoff wins even more insignificant. The opponents in both those games were starting their BACKUP QBs.
VAM, where did you hear his playoff wins were against backups? I’m surprised at the inaccurate information from you. He defeated Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks in 2017 and Tom Brady and the TB Bucs in 2022.
Wow! A homer for sure, unfortunately not realistic. Washington accomplished more last season than Daks has his entire career; playoff victories & a NFC championship appearance. The Eagles have SBs.
So you need to save the hero worship until Dallas actually accomplish something.
What ridiculous hype. No one is predicting that Dallas will win the NFC East this year. No one. And Dak consistently breaks in Big Games against playoff caliber teams. Appearing in many playoff games? Ha, and losing them all. Dak is not in the top 10 QBs in the NFL and may not be in the top 20.
These sportswriters know they can hype to max when games are not being played.
a Dallas Cowboys fan, since the 70’s all sports media groups wake up the world champion Philadelphia Eagles are the team to beat in the N.F.C. East the Eagles are too young, and too talented 2nd the Washington Commanders are the next team so I don’t see the Cowboys making the playoffs
Truth hurts don’t it. He do own they ass.
Those stats mean absolutely NOTHING!! Jalen Hurts has 2 SB Rings!!! Dak Prescott has how many ….ZERO, NONE he is a choke artist!! Fly Eagles Fly!! GO BIRDS!!!!
