Former Eagles RB LeSean McCoy wasn't impressed with Dak Prescott's performance on Thanksgiving
On Thanksgiving, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott tallied his tenth consecutive win over the New York Giants, but one former NFC East rival wasn't impressed.
During the Cowboys' 28-20 turkey day victory over the G-Men, former Philadelphia Eagles' All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy lobbed criticisms toward Prescott on social media.
After asking fans what they see in Prescott, McCoy called him an "above average" quarterback who gets bailed out by his running game.
McCoy's barrage continued with two more Tweets aimed at Prescott. First, McCoy questioned Prescott's abilities after pointing out that he threw "all flat routes, check downs and slants" in last week's victory over the Minnesota Vikings.
Then, McCoy hinted at the Cowboys' lack of trust in Prescott due to the amount of trick plays the offense runs.
McCoy is right. Prescott didn't have his best day against the Giants, finishing 21-of-30 for 261 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. McCoy was also right about the Cowboys' running attack on Thursday as the backfield duo of Ezekiel Elliott, and Tony Pollard carried much of the load, combining to rush for 152 yards and a touchdown.
However, according to The Athletic's Bob Sturm, since Prescott returned from injury in Week 10, the Cowboys' offense ranks first in the NFL in points, third downs, and points-per-drive.
So, despite McCoy's comments, the numbers say Prescott is doing a fine job running Dallas' offense.
