"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."
"Prescott, 32, is a former runner-up for the league's highest honor, and that came in a 12-5 season; a pace the current Cowboys are far from achieving. As we look toward the remaining eight games, this long-shot tune may change for the former Mississippi State star. In short, his MVP-star may start to shine again as we go into the November-December stretch."
In the early 2025 NFL season Dak Prescott began as an MVP frontrunner but now sits at 3-5-1 as his MVP odds have fallen. The Cowboys' defense has performed league-worst, prompting Dallas to add Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson and anticipate returns of DeMarvion Overshown, Shavon Revel, and Malik Hooker. If defensive play improves from poor to merely mediocre, Dallas could convert quality offense into more wins. A healthier receiving corps and time after the bye could trigger a Prescott hot streak and rekindle his MVP contention during the final eight games.
