Dak Prescott may join 5,000-yard club in 2026 NFL season

Summary

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is predicted to surpass 5,000 passing yards during the 2026 NFL season, achieving a historic milestone that would place him among legends like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. ESPN analyst Ben Solak noted Prescott’s previous near success in 2019 and highlighted the potential for explosive offensive statistics under offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. The Cowboys' weakness on defense could force Prescott to pass more, driving up his yardage. The season begins with expectations for improvement from both Prescott and a revamped defensive unit.
