Prescott has since led the Cowboys to three additional division titles and made three Pro Bowl appearances. In 2022, he won the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.

2016 season

Prescott in 2016
See also: 2016 Dallas Cowboys season

The Dallas Cowboys entered the 2016 NFL draft with a plan to acquire a young quarterback to develop behind Tony Romo. After failing to trade up to select Paxton Lynch and Connor Cook,[47] they selected Prescott in the fourth round (135th overall).[48] He was signed to a four-year deal.[49]

When Prescott joined the Cowboys for their rookie mini camp, he was issued #10 since veteran wide receiver Devin Street wore his college number 15. During the first week of rookie mini camp, Prescott decided to switch to #4 in honor of his late mother, whose birthday was on September 4.[50] Prescott is the first Cowboys quarterback to wear #4.[51]

Prescott moved up on the depth chart when backup quarterback Kellen Moore broke his right tibia during the first week of training camp and after the Cowboys could not reach an agreement with the Cleveland Browns to trade for backup Josh McCown.[52]

After Moore's injury, Prescott competed with second-year quarterback Jameill Showers for the backup job to established starter Tony Romo. Several reports from August training camp indicated that Showers outperformed Prescott, showing greater accuracy and a quicker release.[53] However, the Cowboys coaching staff made the decision to start Prescott in the team's preseason opener at the Los Angeles Rams. Working with the Cowboys' first-team offense, Prescott completed 10 of 12 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns in one half of action, though Dallas would lose the game 28–24.[54] Prescott continued his hot streak throughout the rest of the preseason, impressing all with his veteran-like pocket poise and decision making.[55]

After starting quarterback Tony Romo suffered a vertebral compression fracture during the first quarter of the Cowboys' Week 3 preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, and in light of Romo's projected 8–10 week recovery time,[56] Prescott was named the Cowboys starter for the beginning of the 2016 season.[57]

Prescott's first regular-season start came in the season-opener at home against the New York Giants, becoming the fourth rookie quarterback to open the season as a starter in franchise history, and the first rookie to start at quarterback for the Cowboys since Quincy Carter in 2001.[58] Prescott finished the narrow 20–19 loss with 227 passing yards.[59] In the next game against the Washington Redskins, he had 292 passing yards and a six-yard rushing touchdown during the 27–23 road victory.[60] The following week against the Chicago Bears, Prescott threw for 248 yards and his first NFL touchdown, a 17-yarder to wide receiver Dez Bryant, while also rushing for 36 yards and a touchdown in the 31–17 victory.[61][62] During a Week 4 24–17 road victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Prescott threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns.[63] In the next game against the Cincinnati Bengals, he threw for 227 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for four yards and a touchdown during a 28–14 victory.[64] The following week against the Green Bay Packers, Prescott's interception-free streak ended as he threw for 247 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception as the Cowboys won on the road by a score of 30–16.[65] After a Week 7 bye, the Cowboys faced the Philadelphia Eagles at home in Week 8, and fellow rookie quarterback Carson Wentz for their first career matchup. The Cowboys prevailed in overtime 29–23, with Prescott recording 287 passing yards, two touchdowns, and an interception to go along with 38 rushing yards and a touchdown.[66]

During a Week 9 35–10 road victory over the Cleveland Browns, Prescott threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns.[67] In the next game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cowboys won on the road 35–30, with Prescott passing for 319 yards and three touchdowns. One of the touchdowns was a then-career-high 83-yarder to Ezekiel Elliott.[68][69] The Cowboys continued their winning streak in Week 11 by beating the Baltimore Ravens 27–17 with Prescott throwing for 301 yards and three touchdowns.[70] During the Week 12 annual Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Redskins, he threw for 195 yards and had two touchdowns (one rushing and one passing) in the 31–26 victory.[71] Prescott was named Offensive Rookie of the Month in November after recording 1,062 passing yards and nine touchdowns to go along with 75 rushing yards and a touchdown.[72]

During a narrow Week 13 17–15 road victory over the Minnesota Vikings, Prescott threw for 139 yards and a touchdown.[73] In the next game against the Giants, the Cowboys suffered their second loss of the season, with Prescott passing for 169 yards and a touchdown during the 10–7 road loss.[74] The following week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he threw for 279 yards and rushed for 20 yards and a touchdown as the Cowboys won by a score of 26–20.[75] During a Week 16 42–21 victory over the Detroit Lions, Prescott threw for 212 yards and three touchdowns.[76] In the regular-season finale against the Eagles, with the top playoff seed in the National Football Conference (NFC) clinched, the Cowboys decided to rest several starters. Prescott only attempted eight passes for 37 yards before being benched in the second quarter of the 27–13 road loss.[77] As a rookie, Prescott started all 16 games and finished with 3,667 passing yards for 23 touchdowns and four interceptions to go along with 57 carries for 282 yards and six touchdowns.[78] His 67.8% completion percentage ranked fourth among NFL quarterbacks in 2016.[79]

The Cowboys finished the 2016 season atop the NFC East with a 13–3 record.[80] In the Divisional Round against the Packers, Prescott completed 24-of-38 passes for 302 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception for a 103.2 quarterback rating while also rushing for 13 yards and a two-point conversion, but the Cowboys lost 34–31 despite his strong performance.[81] After a spectacular rookie season, Prescott was selected to the Pro Bowl and named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, receiving 28 of 50 votes, beating out running back and teammate Ezekiel Elliott by seven votes.[82] Prescott finished sixth in MVP voting[83] and was ranked 14th by his peers on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2017.[84] He was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team, becoming the second Cowboys quarterback to receive this award, joining Troy Aikman in 1989.[85]

Going into the Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, the Cowboys learned that they would be without running back Ezekiel Elliott for a six-game suspension, putting more pressure on Prescott for the success of the offense.[94] During the game against the Falcons, Prescott completed 20-of-30 passes for 176 yards and had 42 rushing yards and a touchdown, but was sacked eight times as the Cowboys lost on the road by a score of 27–7.[95] In the next game against the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, he completed 18-of-31 passes for 145 yards and three interceptions during the 37–9 loss.[96] The Cowboys' struggles on offense continued the following week against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thanksgiving Day as Prescott threw for 179 yards and two interceptions during the 28–6 loss.[97] Despite the setbacks, the Cowboys remained alive in playoff contention and responded with a 38–14 victory over the Redskins in Week 13, where Prescott threw for 102 yards and two touchdowns.[98] In the next game against the Giants, he was 20-of-30 for a season-high 332 yards and three passing touchdowns, including an 81-yarder to Rod Smith, during the 30–10 road victory.[99][100] The following week against the Oakland Raiders, Prescott had 212 passing yards and two interceptions to go along with 32 rushing yards and a touchdown as the Cowboys won on the road by a score of 20–17.[101] During a pivotal Week 16 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks on Christmas Eve, he recorded 181 passing yards but had two interceptions in the costly 21–12 loss, which eliminated the Cowboys from postseason contention. However, even if the Cowboys won out, they would have still missed the playoffs due to the Falcons finishing 10–6 (thus owning the tiebreaker).[102] In the regular-season finale against the Eagles, Prescott threw for 179 yards and a touchdown during the 6–0 shutout road victory.[103]
