One NFL defensive coordinator feels Dak Prescott can't be ranked among the league's top quarterbacks until he leads the Dallas Cowboys on a playoff run, according to The Athletic's Mike Sando. Prescott and the Cowboys have gone 2-5 in the playoffs over that same span. The franchise's lone two wins in the Prescott era took place in the Wild Card round prior to divisional round losses in 2018 and 2022. During the Cowboys' most recent playoff run following the 2023 season, Prescott and his team were eliminated from the Wild Card round by the Green Bay Packers. The Cowboys then missed the playoffs after losing Prescott to injury in 2024 and again despite a 4,500 passing-yard campaign from their star quarterback in 2025.
