Not only is the Dallas offense one of the better offenses in the NFL, but their defense might just be among the worst. Prescott has attempted 47, 57, and 58 passes in the last three weeks, throwing for 1,424 yards during that span. He should have similar success against the Giants next week, but he may not need to throw the ball 50+ times to beat a bad New York Giants team at home.
