Dak Prescott Faces Pressure Entering 2025 NFL Season

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott enters the 2025 NFL season under intense scrutiny, as he aims to lead the franchise to its first Super Bowl since 1995. Despite his strong regular-season performances, Prescott's 2-5 playoff record and recent injuries have heightened criticism, particularly given his status as the highest-paid quarterback. Former NFL quarterback Chris Simms has identified Prescott as facing the most pressure in football. Prescott remains optimistic and focused on winning a championship for personal fulfillment, while head coach Brian Schottenheimer defines success in terms of team victories. Analysts continue to regard Prescott as one of the league's top quarterbacks for his resilience and playmaking. The return of healthy tight end Jake Ferguson and the addition of wide receiver George Pickens are expected to strengthen the Cowboys' offense and improve their postseason prospects.
