Why Dak Prescott can reenter the MVP convo

InsideTheStar.com takes a look at how Dak Prescott can reenter the MVP conversation despite a few down weeks, and it could start with the defense stepping up to provide the support the offense has desperately needed.

"The biggest culprit for Prescott’s regression in these talks is not himself: it is his league-worst, atrocity-of-a-defensive-unit. Dallas knows this, so they tried to fix it. Their next games will feature a slew of fresh faces on the defense, including external additions Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson. They will also get guys like DeMarvion Overshown, Shavon Revel, and Malik Hooker back to full speed this month. Will it be enough to turn the defense into a monster? That is highly unlikely. If they can, however, improve just enough to be more mediocre than poor, they could win games simply based on that."
