#FromStateToSundays: Week 10 Update
November 14, 2023 | Football
Dak Prescott posted one of the best performances of his career in the Dallas Cowboys' 49-17 win over the New York Giants last Sunday.
Prescott graded out as the NFL's top quarterback in Week 10 by completing 26 of 35 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns while also rushing for a 10-yard score as well. The former Mississippi State standout earned a 92.2 offensive grade from Pro Football Focus (PFF) for the week and owns the third-best rating among quarterbacks (87.6) this season.
It was the 10th time in Prescott's career that he's surpassed 400 yards through the air, the most in Cowboys' history. It was also the fourth time in his career he's exceeded 400 passing yards and thrown for four touchdowns in the same game, which leads the franchise and ranks eighth all-time in NFL history.
Prescott has now thrown for over 300 yards in three consecutive games, which ties him with Tony Romo and his own record from 2020 for the most in Dallas history.
Denico Autry and Preston Smith both provided a sack and tackle for loss for the Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers, respectively. Autry has six sacks this season and 53 ½ for his career while Smith has five on the year and 63 during his time in the league.
Martin Emerson Jr. led the Cleveland Browns with eight tackles while Montez Sweat garnered the NFL's fourth-best run defensive grade among edge rushers for Week 10 at 83.9 in his second game for the Chicago Bears.
Elgton Jenkins of the Packers graded out at No. 5 among guards in the NFL during Week 10 and continues to hold that ranking among his position group for the season. He also posted the fourth-highest run blocking grade (85.1) among guards for the week.
Logan Cooke punted five times for a 53.6-yard average and tied his season-long with a 62-yarder for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
