Dak Prescott leads NFL in yet another elite category after Christmas victory

Dak Prescott has been playing at an elite level throughout the 2025-26 season, and has re-established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL.

Following the Dallas Cowboys' win over the Washington Commanders on Christmas Day, Prescott sits atop the league in another impressive category.

Along with leading the top offense in the league, Prescott now leads the NFL in most 300-yard passing games this season. Prescott has thrown for 300 yards or more in six games this season, including four in the last five weeks.

In games where Prescott has thrown for 300 or more yards, the Cowboys have a 4-1-1 record.

Sure, the Cowboys offense has to light up the scoreboard and air out the ball because of their putrid defense, but Dak's ability to consistently get the job done shows why Dallas trusts him with the ball in his hands.

Prescott has one more 300-yard game than Detroit Lions star Jared Goff (5), while four quarterbacks have four 300-yard performances under their belts.

Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys (6)
Jared Goff, Detroit Lions (5)
Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers (4)
Bo Nix, Denver Broncos (4)
Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams (4)
Jacoby Brissett, Arizona Cardinals (4)

That's elite company to be in, especially with NFL MVP front-runner Matthew Stafford among those on the list. Justin Herbert and Bo Nix are also primed to lead their teams into the postseason.

Hopefully, next season, Prescott and the Cowboys offense will get the support it needs from the defense to turn its production into wins.
