Trevor Lawrence outplays Dak Prescott in Jaguars upset of Cowboys

Another reason Lawrence stood out was his ability to overcome difficult circumstances and prompt a comeback. 

Jacksonville trailed 27-10 in the third quarter, but he threw three touchdown passes to Zay Jones, zapping the Cowboys' lead and eventually forcing overtime.

Per ESPN's Ed Werder, the Cowboys won 39 straight games when leading by 17 points. So a second-year quarterback snapping the streak proves he's a rising star. 

On the flip side, Prescott continued to throw costly interceptions, which raises concerns. 

Prescott threw an interception on second-and-18 deep in Dallas' territory when the Cowboys led 27-17 during the third quarter. The Jaguars capitalized and scored a touchdown.

If Prescott didn't throw the pick, it could've changed the game's tenor, allowing the Cowboys to control the clock and dispel Lawerence's efforts. 

Additionally, Prescott tossed Rayshawn Jenkins' walk-off pick-six in overtime. However, that wasn't entirely his fault since Noah Brown deflected it. 

Regardless, the turnovers illuminate an alarming Prescott trend. In nine starts, he threw 11 interceptions, two away from tying a career-high—13 in 2017. 

Prescott needs to get control of the turnovers, or the dangerous game will keep biting the Cowboys, especially against young, dynamic quarterbacks like Lawrence.
