Dak Prescott’s historic grip on the New York Giants continued Sunday in one of the season’s wildest finishes, a 40-37 overtime win, and PFSN’s metrics explain exactly how he did it. Prescott’s QBi of 77.2 (C+) told the story of stability and poise, especially in the moments that mattered most. The win marked his 14th straight against New York, a streak that now stretches over nine years and is the longest active run by any quarterback against a division opponent.
What Do PFSN Numbers Reveal About this Rivalry?
Since 2022, Prescott has logged at least 0.20 EPA per dropback in 16 games, four of which came against New York. On Sunday, he completed 38 of 52 passes for 361 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception. That performance was matched by his ability to convert third downs and rally Dallas with two late scoring drives.
PFSN’s QBi grade rewards quarterbacks who deliver in clutch spots, and Prescott’s leadership came to the forefront in both regulation and overtime. “We practice those situations for weeks just to be ready for something like this,” Prescott said postgame. “Everyone in our room believes if the clock’s running, we have a shot.”
Prescott’s final chance came after Donovan Wilson’s overtime interception gave Dallas new life. A 14-yard scramble by Prescott put the Cowboys in field goal range, setting up Brandon Aubrey’s 46-yard game-winner as time expired. Before the kick, Prescott told reporters, “The offense came together when it counted, and we trust Aubrey with anything. That’s what good teams do in big moments.”

The game featured spectacular quarterback play: Russell Wilson recorded a B- (80.9 QBi) with 450 passing yards, three touchdowns, and a pair of go-ahead drives in the final minutes.
Wilson credited the Dallas defense for the game-changing pick in overtime, saying, “Those possessions late are everything. One mistake and they can flip a game. You have to learn and come back stronger.” Malik Nabers was New York’s standout, racking up nine catches for 167 yards and two touchdowns, including a 48-yard go-ahead score with just 25 seconds left.
Penalties were a key storyline, particularly for the Giants, who racked up 14 for 160 yards. Dallas also had 12 flags for 106 yards, and both teams traded momentum with rapid-fire scoring in the fourth quarter, 41 points and five lead changes in under 13 minutes.
Why Prescott’s Consistency Matters Now More Than Ever
PFSN metrics place premium value on plays made from clean pockets and designed runs, areas where Prescott still thrives against the Giants. The combination of stable, repeatable execution and timely performance under pressure is why Dallas continues to win these matchups, and why New York struggles to force Prescott into low-percentage situations.
Division wins like this can decide playoff seeding and set the tone for the rest of the season. As Prescott put it: “Every win in this division means something extra. I want our guys to feel that every time.”
Sunday’s game brought out the best in both teams, but PFSN data proves that in the biggest moments, Prescott still stands tallest.
