Plenty went into the big Sunday night rebound for Cowboys QB Dak Prescott. His 31-of-40 passing matched the Week 3 passing, but Prescott's season-high 8.0 yards per pass attempt turned that into 319 yards and 3 TDs. The latter number doubled his season total in that category. One key factor that allowed such production was the pass protection holding up surprisingly well.
Week 3 found Prescott taking pressure on a season-high 40.5% of his dropbacks despite facing a middling Chicago pass rush. That ranked 12th-highest for the week.
That pressure rate decreased to 36.6% despite facing a tougher Green Bay front and Micah Parsons' return to Dallas. That ranked 17th for the week.
Prescott took just one sack and four total hits among 41 dropbacks.
Handling that matchup makes it much easier to feel good about Prescot at the Jets in Week 5, at the Panthers in Week 6, and back home for Washington in Week 7. And Prescott should get CeeDee Lamb back some time in that stretch.
We'll see how Prescott fares over the next three weeks before looking too much further ahead.
