DAK PRESCOTT FOR NFL MVP?! It might sound like a hot take, but the Dallas Cowboys quarterback has a legitimate path to becoming one of the leading candidates for the NFL’s biggest individual award in 2026. On this episode of Locked On Cowboys Hit Podcast, host James Duncan breaks down exactly what Dak Prescott needs to do to enter—and potentially WIN—the NFL MVP conversation. Prescott has been here before, finishing second in MVP voting in 2023. Now, Dallas may have given its franchise quarterback one of the best collections of offensive weapons he’s ever had. CeeDee Lamb. George Pickens. Jake Ferguson. KaVontae Turpin. A potentially improved offensive line. If the Cowboys offense reaches its ceiling, Dak could have everything he needs to produce another monster statistical season. So what would an MVP season actually look like? Think 4,500+ passing yards. Somewhere around 35–40 touchdown passes. Protecting the football. Winning the NFC East. And, most importantly, leading the Dallas Cowboys to 12 or more wins and establishing them as legitimate NFC contenders. Dak Prescott doesn't necessarily need to become a different quarterback to win MVP. He needs Dallas to win enough games for the rest of the NFL to appreciate the quarterback he already is. James also breaks down HOW Dak gets there. It starts with maximizing CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, turning more red-zone opportunities into touchdowns and delivering in the marquee games that can define an MVP campaign. Because Dak’s MVP case won't just be built by dominating bad teams. If Prescott wants to change the national conversation, some of his biggest performances need to come under the lights against the NFL’s best teams. If Dak throws for 4,500 yards and 38 touchdowns, how many games do the Cowboys need to win for him to be YOUR NFL MVP? Cowboys Nation, drop your number in the comments.
