December 05, 2023 | Football
Dak Prescott is playing at the top of his game and was selected as the NFC Offensive Player of the Month for November.
Prescott completed 29 of 41 passes for 299 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dallas Cowboys' 41-35 win over the Seattle Seahawks last week.
According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Prescott has the top offensive grade among NFL quarterbacks this season at 92.2. The standout signal caller who played at Mississippi State from 2012-15 leads the NFL with 26 touchdown passes this season and holds the second-best passing grade (91) in the league.
Denico Autry had another dominant performance for the Tennessee Titans' defense. Autry made four tackles including a sack and forced a fumble during Week 13. He garnered the top pressure grade for the Titans last week and became the first player for the franchise since Jevon Kearse (1999-2001) to record eight or more sacks in three consecutive seasons.
Preston Smith was credited with a half-sack in Green Bay's win over Kansas City on Sunday night to bring his career total to 63 ½. Elgton Jenkins also had a stellar showing, grading out as the Packers' top pass blocker along the offensive line in that contest.
Two Bulldogs were among the four highest-graded players overall on the Chiefs defense. Chris Jones garnered the top pressure grade for Kansas City while Willie Gay Jr. earned the best coverage grade.
For the season, Jones has the No. 2 overall defensive grade for the Chiefs at 80.9 while also ranking eighth among all interior linemen in the NFL in pressures in 2023.
Fletcher Cox had a sack for Philadelphia and provided the second-best pressure grade for the Eagles in Week 13 while Darius Slay secured the No. 2 tackling grade with five solo stops against San Francisco.
Martin Emerson made seven tackles to tie for the team lead for Cleveland and is now up to 43 stops on the year to go along with his two interceptions. Rookie Cameron Young earned the highest overall defensive and run defensive grade for Seattle after making three tackles.
