An 18-point playoff deficit might’ve been enough to force most rookie quarterbacks into a full-on panic; for Dak Prescott, it merely showcased his veteran-like coolness under the bright lights. A big-play threat from the moment his eyes scan downfield, Prescott won over the hearts of the Cowboys faithful, conquering the Packers’ defense with an ever-poetic 40-yard touchdown to his trusted No. 88. Prescott’s effort couldn’t have been more valiant on Jan. 15, 2017, as he captained a furious second-half rally that watched Dallas turn a 21-3 hole into a last-minute 31-31 tie. Despite what eventually became a 34-31 win for Green Bay, Prescott was nonetheless dazzling in his postseason debut, throwing for 302 yards (on 24-of-38) and three touchdowns.
