Dak Prescott has done it again. For the sixth straight game since the Dallas Cowboys took their bye week, Prescott has put on an absolute show for his fanbase. In Thursday’s 41-35 victory, Prescott threw for three touchdowns on 299 passing yards, starting the game off in familar fashion.

For in all six of those games, Prescott had at least two passing touchdowns in the first halves, getting the offense off on the right foot. In most of the contests, the defense has matched his intensity, but not in Week 13. The defense didn’t show much of a pulse in the win until the final three drives, putting Prescott in a position where he had to orchestrate an offensive response over and over.

And that he did, in spectacular fashion. His numbers should’ve actually have been better as he lost two sure touchdowns to drops and a rushing touchdown to a holding penalty where he likely would’ve scored anyway.

All in all, it was a strong feather in his cap and one that will temporarily silence his dwindling number of critics and detractors, who were hanging on by fingernails to reasons why Prescott isn’t playing the best ball out of every NFL player at the moment. Playing huge when his defense isn’t giving him big leads and points? Check. Willing his team to win against a playoff-caliber opponent? Check. What’s the next hurdle that will pop up?

Here’s a look at several reactions on Twitter to his performance.
