TULSA — Eric Morris said starting Saturday night there will be some “long meetings” about things that need to be addressed with the Cowboys’ loss to Tulsa. After an offseason of hype, the Cowboys fell flat in a 24-10 season-opening loss to the Golden Hurricane on Saturday at H.A. Chapman Stadium. The Cowboys’ leaders didn’t sugarcoat much in the fallout of the loss. “I could sit here all night and talk about how disappointed I am for our fanbase, our administration, all the people that put so much into this,” Morris said. “And we got a lot of problems to fix, obviously. We got the number, I don’t know what they’ll be one two or three in the nation coming into town next week and boy I tell you if they watch that film they’ll be licking their chops.” The Cowboys outgained Tulsa, had more time of possession that Tulsa and held the Golden Hurricane to 1-for-11 on third down, but in spite of all that, four turnovers and four more turnovers on downs meant Tulsa was in control for much of the contest. In his first game as a Cowboy, quarterback Drew Mestemaker threw for 241 yards, a touchdown and two picks. “I got to be better first of all,” Mestemaker said. “I definitely didn’t play my best game. We just got to go to watch the film and figure it out. That’s not us, and that was honestly embarrassing. We just got to figure it out, get back to the drawing board and bounce back next week.” This loss comes after an offseason where people — even those outside of the Stillwater city limits — wondered whether the Cowboys could be on a similar trajectory to Indiana when the Hoosiers hired Curt Cignetti. That won’t be the talk entering OSU’s Week 2 matchup with Oregon. The talk will likely rather be whether the Cowboys are in for another doomed season considering they just lost to Tulsa for the second time in as many years. “For a second year in a row, Tulsa, they reigned supreme on us right now on the football field,” Morris said. “And that’s a fact. I’m a fact guy, and I’m always gonna tell you guys the way I feel. There’s no way that we don’t leave this thing right now and feel all of that momentum come to a screeching halt. We gotta do something to fix that. “And two, it’s gonna be really, really important, I’ve always believed, and I’ve done this numerous places — it’s easy to lead when things are going well and things are good. It’s hard to lead when things aren’t going well and you get punched in the mouth like that. That’s on me to be able to get us back together collectively and regroup and start fixing these problems one at a time.” Morris and Mestemaker talked about the importance of Mestemaker growing as a leader in his redshirt sophomore season. And Morris said even before a shocking loss to Tulsa that he’s ready to see how his team responds to adversity. Well, now Mestemaker’s leadership and the team’s response will be tested. “The first thing is everyone knows I need to play better,” Mestemaker said. “I’m not the one to point fingers. I need to play better and that’ll help the offense play better. I think it’s just being straight up with guys: That’s not us. We need to play better and it’s just on to next week.”

Dak Prescott’s career completion percentage is 66.9%, a metric of elite precision established over 10 professional seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. This statistical foundation, built on 3,184 successful completions across 4,759 total attempts, ranks him as one of the most accurate starting passers in modern franchise history. By maintaining this high standard throughout 139 regular-season games, Prescott has demonstrated that his efficiency is a persistent trait rather than a temporary spike. Whether evaluating his record-breaking 2023 campaign or his remarkably steady playoff performance of 66.8%, the data highlights a quarterback who excels at high-volume, professional-grade accuracy. Examining Dak Prescott’s Yearly Accuracy and Efficiency To understand the trajectory of a premier NFL signal-caller, one must look at the consistency of their output over a decade. Prescott entered the league with an immediate impact, posting a 67.8% completion rate in his debut year. This was not a rookie fluke; rather, it set the baseline for a career defined by situational awareness and ball placement. While many quarterbacks experience significant “sophomore slumps” or efficiency dips as defensive coordinators gather more film, Prescott has remained remarkably resilient. Throughout his tenure, he has only finished below the 64% accuracy threshold once—during his second season in 2017. Since that time, he has evolved into a master of the short-to-intermediate passing game, while still maintaining the efficiency required for a vertical offense. The Statistical Evolution: 2016 to 2025 The following table provides a comprehensive breakdown of Prescott’s regular-season efficiency. This data reflects his ability to maintain high completion rates even as his total passing volume increased significantly over the years. Season Team Games Completions Attempts Completion % 2016 DAL 16 311 459 67.8% 2017 DAL 16 308 490 62.9% 2018 DAL 16 356 526 67.7% 2019 DAL 16 388 596 65.1% 2020 DAL 5 151 222 68.0% 2021 DAL 16 410 596 68.8% 2022 DAL 12 261 394 66.2% 2023 DAL 17 410 590 69.5% 2024 DAL 8 185 286 64.7% 2025 DAL 17 404 600 67.3% Total DAL 139 3,184 4,759 66.9% Why Was 2023 a Career-High Year for Dak Prescott’s Accuracy? In 2023, Prescott achieved a career-best 69.5% completion rate. This peak occurred during a near-MVP campaign where he completed 410 passes on 590 attempts. Analysts often point to this season as the perfect intersection of veteran experience and offensive system optimization. By processing defenses faster and utilizing a diverse array of targets, he was able to minimize “throwaway” passes and maximize the probability of each attempt. This season alone solidified his reputation as a top-tier distributor in the modern era. How Consistent is Dak Prescott in High-Pressure Playoff Games? A common inquiry regarding elite quarterbacks involves their ability to replicate regular-season success during the postseason. The data suggests that Prescott does not falter under the increased scrutiny of January football. His postseason accuracy sits at 66.8%, virtually identical to his regular-season average. This stability is critical for a franchise like Dallas, where the expectations are perpetually high. Many quarterbacks see a sharp decline in completion percentage during the playoffs due to tighter defensive coverage and higher stakes, yet Prescott’s metrics remain “remarkably steady”. When combining his regular-season and playoff appearances, his career mark remains a robust 66.8%. Comparative View: Regular Season vs. Postseason Metric Regular Season Postseason Combined Career Completion % 66.9% 66.8% 66.8% This consistency serves as a trust signal for the organization. It indicates that the offensive game plan can remain aggressive because the quarterback has a proven track record of maintaining his accuracy regardless of the calendar month or the opponent’s caliber. Where Does Dak Prescott Rank in Dallas Cowboys History? The Dallas Cowboys are a storied franchise with a lineage of Hall of Fame quarterbacks. To lead this team is to be measured against legends of the past. Prescott’s 66.9% career completion percentage has helped him secure numerous team records. Impact on Franchise Records and Passer Rating His efficiency is not just a vacuum-sealed stat; it is the engine behind his high career passer rating and volume records. By completing nearly 67 out of every 100 passes, Prescott keeps the chains moving and maintains ball security, which are the hallmarks of winning football. Career Completions: With 3,184 completions, he has climbed to the top of the Cowboys’ historical leaderboard. Overall Passer Rating: His accuracy is a primary component of his elite passer rating, reflecting a balance of yardage, touchdowns, and minimal interceptions. Modern Standards: In the context of the current NFL, where accuracy is prioritized over raw arm strength, Prescott represents the gold standard for a modern “pocket-plus” quarterback. Analyzing the Role of Passing Volume One must consider the sheer volume of attempts when evaluating these percentages. In 2025, for instance, Prescott attempted 600 passes, yet still managed a 67.3% completion rate. Generally, as the number of attempts increases, the likelihood of variance and error also rises. Maintaining a high-sixties percentage while ranking among the league leaders in attempts is a feat reserved for the top tier of NFL starters. This high-volume efficiency suggests that the Cowboys’ offensive strategy is heavily reliant on Prescott’s arm. Instead of leaning on a conservative run game to protect the completion percentage, the team frequently puts the ball in his hands 35 to 40 times a game, trusting his ability to find the open man. Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Prescott’s Passing Metrics What is the highest completion percentage Dak Prescott has had in a single season? His career high occurred in 2023, when he completed 69.5% of his passes during 17 regular-season games. Has Dak Prescott ever finished a season with less than 60% accuracy? No. His lowest career completion percentage for a full season was 62.9% in 2017. In every other season of his 10-year career, he has remained above the 64% mark. How many total completions does Dak Prescott have in his career? As of the current data, he has successfully completed 3,184 passes on 4,759 attempts in the regular season. Does his accuracy drop in the playoffs? The data shows almost no drop-off. His playoff completion percentage is 66.8%, compared to a regular-season average of 66.9%. Strategic Takeaways for the Future As Prescott continues his career, these metrics provide a roadmap for expectations. His ability to adapt to different offensive coordinators and receiving corps while keeping his completion percentage in the high sixties is a testament to his preparation and fundamental skill set. For the Dallas Cowboys, having a quarterback with a 66.9% career accuracy rate means the offense can be designed with a high degree of complexity. It allows for a reliance on timing-based routes and precision passing, which are difficult for even the best NFL defenses to neutralize over four quarters. As long as Prescott maintains this level of efficiency, he will remain the cornerstone of the franchise’s pursuit of another championship.

The post Twins 6, White Sox 4: Murakami, Montgomery blasts not enough as Kay falters appeared first on Sox On 35th. Nothing comes easy for the 2026 Chicago White Sox. Even on a night when Munetaka Murakami broke out of his 1-for-24 slump with a two-run blast in the first inning, the pesky Minnesota Twins found a way to come out of Rate Field on Saturday night with a 6-4 victory. “I’m shocked,” former White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said on CHSN’s Postgame Live. “It was kind of a weird game. That’s why baseball is so crazy. You never exactly know what you’re going to get and how you were going to get it.” Never knowing what you’re going to get is precisely the right way to describe Anthony Kay’s outing for the Sox. Rewarded with a 3-0 lead after the first inning, Kay was dominant for the first three innings, needing only 37 pitches to retire the first nine batters. However, just like a box of Cracker Jack, you never know when an unpopped piece of popcorn will come up and get you. In the fourth inning, it was a bloop, a walk and two doubles that allowed the Twins to get back into the ballgame. Still clinging to a 4-3 lead, White Sox manager Will Venable decided to bring Kay back for the fifth inning. That turned out to be the wrong move. After hitting Ryan Kreidler — Kay’s 23rd hit batter of the year — Luke Keaschall singled to right, setting the stage for Ryan Jeffers’ 14th home run of the year. Trailing 5-3 midway through the fifth inning, the Sox would add only one more run en route to the team’s 28th home loss of the season. “It would be so nice if they just got hot for like a week,” Chuck Garfien said on CHSN’s Postgame Live. “We could breathe a little easier. This feels like it might be the last three weeks of the season where they win, they lose, they win a couple and the Guardians are going to be just hanging around. I hope that’s not the case. That’ll be better for our mental health, but I think we need to be bracing for this.” Despite the loss, there were a couple of bright spots for the Pale Hose. Murakami’s 346-foot, first-inning home run, his first since Aug. 18 against the Chicago Cubs, allowed him to become only the fourth Japanese-born player to hit 30-plus home runs in a season. Murakami also joined Ron Kittle, Eloy Jiménez and José Abreu on the short list of White Sox rookies to hit that many dingers in a season. “It’s nice to see him come back,” Guillen said. “You hope he can continue to go there and that this is the start of a good finish.” Also finding his way back to relevance at the plate, Colson Montgomery hit his second home run in as many games during that three-run first inning. The trio of Murakami, Montgomery and Miguel Vargas became only the fourth trio of White Sox hitters — and the first in MLB this year — with 30-plus home runs in a season. The last time it happened was in 2008, when Carlos Quentin, Jim Thome and Jermaine Dye did it. Speaking of home runs, the Sox have found themselves on a feast-or-famine streak with the long ball. The team scored all four runs on homers during its 4-1 win Friday night, and three of its four runs Saturday night scored the same way. “I think that they have to put it together,” Guillen said during Countdown Live on CHSN. “They’re not going to hit home runs every night.” The Sox had opportunities to score in both the seventh and eighth innings, but doubles by Randal Grichuk and Tristan Peters failed to result in any runs. Taj Bradley (11-6) earned the win for Minnesota. It was Bradley’s first win against the White Sox in five outings. Former White Sox pitcher Yoendrys Gómez earned his 21st save of the season. Kay fell to 9-8, with his next start coming at St. Louis next weekend. Notes: Twins Shortstop Kaelen Culpepper has collected a hit in 18 of his last 21 games. Chicago White Sox Sunday’s starter is TBD, as Sean Burke’s start was pushed back until Tuesday to give him an extra day’s rest, while Davis Martin will pitch Wednesday. The White Sox lead the season series vs. the Twins with a 7-5 record. The Winston-Salem Dash have clinched a spot in the High-A playoffs for the first time since 2018. Caleb Bonemer hit his 36th home run of the season in the first game of a doubleheader. No team has ever won the division after losing 100 games the year before. “It would mean a lot,” Venable told Garfien before the game. “That’s kind of the goal when you go into this that you’re in this position to win the division. That’s what we’re all competing for. At the same time, when you put it up against last year, and you evaluate the progress that this organization’s made and the team’s made is really incredible. It would mean a lot. We’re just trying to stay focused on today.” Tyson Bagent was spotted in the crowd drinking a Miller Lite. The plan for Kyle Teel is to alternate starts and he should be in the lineup on Sunday.
