Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott made a promise this week that he won’t be as reckless with the ball in 2023 as he was last season. Prescott led the league in interceptions in 2022 with 15 picks and did it while playing just 12 games.
Speaking with reporters on Monday, Prescott touched on the subject of interceptions and said he believes they won’t be an issue this year because head coach Mike McCarthy will be calling plays.
“Some of it is the offense and them understanding exactly where we are,” Prescott said. “Mike does an amazing job with those guys [wide receivers]. They know where to be, and why to be when they’re getting looked at. That’s going to be a big jump. “
Prescott also made a bold promise that he won’t be in double digits in interceptions this upcoming season.
“I won’t have 10 interceptions this year,” he stated.
While picks haven’t been much of an issue early in Prescott’s career, he has been quite interception-prone in recent years. He was intercepted 10 or more times in three of his past four seasons. The one year he didn’t reach double-digit interceptions was 2020 when he had 4. However, he only played five games that year and was on pace to throw at least 10 interceptions if he had continued to be on the field.
