#FromStateToSundays: Week 13 Update
December 06, 2022 | Football
STARKVILLE – Dak Prescott continues to rack up wins for the Dallas Cowboys.
Prescott threw for three touchdowns in the Cowboys' 54-19 rout of the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday for their third consecutive victory. The former Mississippi State legend completed 20 of 30 passes for 170 yards and had a quarterback rating of 100.7.
It was Prescott's 28th career game with three or more passing touchdowns, which is the second-most in franchise history. He also passed Danny White and now has the third-most TD throws all-time for Dallas with 156.
Fletcher Cox notched his fifth sack of the season for Philadelphia. The six-time Pro Bowler has racked up 63 sacks over the course of his career, the most by a defensive tackle in Eagles' history.
Cox, however, wasn't the only former Bulldog to make a stop in an opposing backfield during Week 13. Willie Gay Jr. and Montez Sweat both accumulated a tackle for loss for the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders respectively.
It was also a stellar week for former MSU offensive linemen. Elgton Jenkins played every offensive snap at left guard for the Green Bay Packers and received an 87.5 pass blocking grade from Pro Football Focus (PFF), which ranked as the fourth-best grade among O-linemen in the NFL last week.
Rookie Charles Cross also logged every offensive snap at left tackle for the Seattle Seahawks while teammate Gabe Jackson did not allow any quarterback pressures in 38 snaps. Tyre Phillips also kept a clean pocket in New York Giants' overtime victory.
