"Securing good health for an older fella who's had some injury issues in recent seasons seemed like it would take precedence over finishing out the season. Plus, wouldn't they want to get a better look at their young backup, Joe Milton III? There was some buzz that they wanted Prescott to finish as the league's leader in passing yardage, who entered the week with a 34-yard advantage over Matthew Stafford."
"Rookie running back Jaydon Blue has been an afterthought this season, as the coaches haven't felt good about trusting him to take the field much, as he has been out of action for 12 games this year. Against the Giants, not only did he play, but he started after the team put Javonte Williams and Malik Davis on injured reserve late in the week. The rookie impressed early as he had a nifty 27-yard run and a nine-yard touchdown run in the first quarter."
The Dallas Cowboys finished the season 7-9-1, marking a second straight losing year after losing four of their final five games. The team secured its only winning record on Thanksgiving versus the Chiefs but faltered late, culminating in a 34-17 loss to the Giants. The coaching staff started Dak Prescott in the meaningless finale despite injury concerns and a desire to evaluate backup Joe Milton III. Prescott completed 7 of 11 passes for 70 yards in one half as Matthew Stafford surpassed him in passing yards. Rookie Jaydon Blue started after injuries to Javonte Williams and Malik Davis, gaining 76 yards on 11 first-half carries including a nine-yard touchdown, then ran five times for minus-12 yards in the second half.
