On Sunday, Dak Prescott will begin his quest to go where no starting rookie quarterback has gone before: to the Super Bowl. Prescott will become the 22nd rookie QB in NFL history to start a postseason game when his Cowboys take on the Packers. Of the 21 who have gone before him, only two have won more than one playoff game (Joe Flacco and Mark Sanchez). Prescott got the best of Aaron Rodgers earlier this season—Dallas won, 30-16, in Week 6—but Rodgers has 15 playoff games, including a Super Bowl title, under his belt. Just how much does experience matter when it comes to the heightened expectations of the postseason?
