Dak Prescott’s Four-TD Showcase Fuels Early MVP Buzz After Week 5 Win

Even longtime critics now call his five-week production MVP caliber despite Dallas’ struggling defense.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith said Monday that Prescott should be a leading MVP candidate after five weeks.
  • Prescott has completed 71.3% of his passes for 1,356 yards (second in NFL) with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions.
  • In a 37-22 road win over the Jets, he went 18-of-29 for 237 yards and four TDs as MetLife Stadium fans chanted “M-V-P.”
  • He has sustained top-tier output despite injuries that sidelined CeeDee Lamb, four offensive line starters and multiple depth pieces.
  • FanDuel lists Prescott at +2200 to win MVP (eighth best) even as Dallas owns the league’s worst yardage defense and a 2-2-1 record.
