Skip Bayless claims Dak Prescott’s interceptions funk will spell doom for Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys continue to win, but quarterback Dak Prescott has largely been unable to protect the ball. He has five interceptions (including a 2/1 interception-touchdown ratio on Sunday) in the last three games, all of which were victories.

It obviously hasn't hurt the team much. They have won all three games mentioned above and despite nine interceptions in total, the Cowboys are 6-2 in his starts. Still, the turnovers can be worrisome.

Jerry Jones mentioned that he likes his team to be aggressive but without turnovers. Notable Cowboys superfan Skip Bayless agreed with the sentiment and here's what he said on Undisputed:

"He's played eight games this year and has nine interceptions. It's a bad trend. It's not just a blip, it's a trend where every game he has a couple of interceptions. They're scary interceptions, they're dangerous. They're forced interceptions."

Bayless believes the quarterback needs to get it turned around or else the Cowboys' dream season might come crashing down early again. Bayless hesitated to say that Jones should have called it out, though.

Dak Prescott was hard enough on himself after the turnovers and knows he needs to do better. Bayless believes Jones didn't need to pile on any more. The quarterback needs to play better and everyone in the Cowboys organization and fanbase knows that. It doesn't need to be explicitly stated by the owner.

Have Dak Prescott's interceptions doomed the Cowboys Super Bowl chances?

Despite the turnovers, the Cowboys continue to roll. They're 10-3 and within two games of the near-unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles. They have a good chance of winning it all this year.

Dak Prescott struggled last week

Even with Prescott's supposed poor play, the team has a 99% chance to make the playoffs and a 13% chance of snatching the division title, based on FiveThirtyEight's projections model.

They have a 15% chance of winning the Super Bowl, which is the fourth-best chance in the entire league. That's good, though the Eagles have the best shot at 24%.

The Cowboys can and will need to play better, but they also have a roster capable of winning it all. If Prescott stops turning the ball over, the Cowboys could prove to be very dangerous.
