NFL enthusiasts were left stunned after a recent statistical analysis showcased a surprising parallel between Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott and Kansas City Chiefs’ elite quarterback Patrick Mahorems. With the legendary Tom Brady out of the picture, Mahomes has largely been viewed as the unparalleled quarterback in today’s NFL.
Despite Dak Prescott’s impressive stats earning him Pro Bowl recognition, his playoff record of 2-5 often places him under intense scrutiny. However, a graphic shared by the NFL on CBS X/Twitter account throws an unexpected light on their performance over their past 50 starts.
Astoundingly, both quarterbacks have thrown for 105 touchdowns. Not only that, but Prescott actually surpasses Mahomes in several critical passing metrics.
Prescott edges out Mahomes with one fewer interception (38 to Mahomes’ 39), a higher passer rating (101.3 to 98.9), better yards per pass attempt (7.6 to 7.5), and a higher completion percentage (68.4% to 66.8%).

Critics often emphasize Dak Prescott’s lack of postseason achievements, especially when compared to Patrick Mahomes’ impressive three Super Bowl championships. Despite Prescott’s notable regular-season performances, his playoff record stands at a disappointing 2-5.
According to Pro Football Reference, Prescott has thrown 14 touchdowns to seven interceptions in the postseason, with a passer rating of 91.8, a noticeable dip from his regular-season rating of 99.0. Despite a strong regular-season record of 73-41, Prescott’s playoff outcomes have left much to be desired.
However, it’s important to note that Prescott, at 30 years old, still has time to reshape his narrative concerning postseason accomplishments. History shows that quarterbacks like Peyton Manning, John Elway, and Matthew Stafford have significantly enhanced their legacies with late-career Super Bowl victories.
Thus, Prescott’s future will likely be defined by his ability to translate his regular-season excellence to playoff victories.
As debates continue, NFL fans have also expressed their skepticism towards Prescott’s statements on social media, further highlighting the scrutiny surrounding his postseason performances.
