#Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is 6-0 when coming off a Week 1 loss. I asked what approach has made him respond so successfull

What happened: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott addressed his approach to recovering from early setbacks. The veteran emphasized the importance of staying the course, noting that his strategy centers on 'doubling down' rather than panicking or making sweeping changes.

Why it matters: Prescott's steady mindset remains a focal point as Dallas looks to bounce back, urging the team to filter the noise. The franchise is relying on his historical ability to rebound to help navigate early-season divisional challenges.

By the numbers: Prescott boasts a perfect 6-0 record in games immediately following a season-opening defeat. Furthermore, he holds a 7-0 home record against Washington with 20 touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 126.4 passer rating.

What to watch: Dallas will test Prescott's bounce-back philosophy on Sunday when they host the Commanders in a divisional matchup.
