NFL Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over Jaw-Dropping Graphic Comparing Dak Prescott & Patrick Mahomes

NFL fans are buzzing after seeing an incredible statistical comparison between Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes.

With Tom Brady retired, Patrick Mahomes is widely regarded as the top quarterback in the NFL today. Meanwhile, Dak Prescott, despite his Pro Bowl-caliber numbers, has faced intense scrutiny due to his lack of postseason success (2-5).

The NFL on CBS Twitter account recently shared a fascinating graphic comparing Prescott and Mahomes over their last 50 starts. Remarkably, both quarterbacks have thrown 105 touchdowns each. Surprisingly, Prescott surpasses Mahomes in several key passing categories: Mahomes has thrown one more interception (39) than Prescott (38), while Prescott boasts a higher passer rating (101.3 to 98.9), yards per pass attempt (7.6 to 7.5), and completion percentage (68.4% to 66.8%).

However, critics of Prescott were quick to point out the glaring difference in postseason success. Mahomes already has two Super Bowl rings and has led the Chiefs to five consecutive AFC Championship Games. In contrast, Prescott has a dismal 2-5 playoff record.

According to Pro Football Reference, Prescott has 14 touchdowns, seven interceptions, and a 91.8 passer rating in the postseason, a noticeable drop from his regular season passer rating of 99.0. Despite his strong regular season record (73-41), Prescott’s playoff struggles remain a significant blemish on his career.

Dak Prescott Will Forever Be Judged By Playoff Performances

Although Prescott has underwhelmed in the postseason so far, it’s not too late for the 30-year-old to change his legacy. History offers some hope: Peyton Manning didn’t win his first Super Bowl until his ninth season, John Elway was 37 when he won his first of two Super Bowls, and Matthew Stafford had zero playoff wins in 12 years with the Detroit Lions before leading the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl 56 title in his first year there.

Prescott has consistently delivered elite performances during the regular season, but his ultimate legacy will be defined by his playoff success from here on out.
