The veteran starting quarterback is near the top of most relevant passing metrics (yards, touchdowns, interception percentage, expected points added, completion percentage over expected) at the helm of another great Dallas Cowboys offense.

He’s also got a pre-snap cadence that is flat-out impossible to ignore.

Before every snap, Prescott bellows, “Here we gooooo,” like it’s a rhythmic chant. On the one hand, it shows Prescott’s comfort and command within Mike McCarthy’s offense.
