Prescott-Cooper connection moves Cowboys closer to playoffs

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Defining where Dak Prescott is in the NFL quarterback hierarchy is a difficult task.

The Dallas Cowboys would rather he be defined just by what he does when it matters most.

Prescott threw touchdown passes of 28 and 75 yards to Amari Cooper in the fourth quarter and for 15 yards in overtime to give the Cowboys a 29-23 victory that moved them closer to winning the NFC East.

This game will not be remembered as one of Prescott’s finer games, even though he threw for a career-high 455 yards on 42-of-54 passing, but it might be one of his finer moments.
