Dak Prescott knows he's 'got to stop' throwing INTs for Cowboys to make Super Bowl run

After throwing an pick-me-up, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback thought about going to Tom Brady's house. He has thought about all the things that could go wrong. He counted to 10 instead.

After throwing two more picks in the Cowboys' 27-13 win against the TennesseeTitans on Thursday night, quarterback Dak Prescott said he had gotten his mind off of it. I said my words and moved on.

He has had to speak a lot to himself.

After surgery to repair a fractured thumb, he missed five games. In 358 pass attempts, he's had 14 intercepts. He had a career high in 2017: 13 on 490 pass attempts.

In the last six games, he has thrown at least one pick up. He has a small percentage of intercepts. He had an intercept percentage of 1%) for his career entering this season.

"They're all frustrating, that's for sure." I have to stop somehow.

The tight end tipped the ball to Tennessee safety Kevin Byard for the first of his two picks.

His first came in the final minute of the first half when he threw behind the tight end.

McCarthy said one was a drop and one was a minus decision. We will look at it and continue to coach it. Don't throw the ball. It is important to not over-coach it. The goal is to be able to score a lot of points.

The Cowboys are scoring 34.6% of their points from the offense. He has 25 touchdown passes in the last seven weeks. 70% of his passes have been completed. A top wide receiver is crying. T.Y.Hilton looks like he will be a receiving threat when the playoffs begin. The run game has slowed down, but it has been effective.

The picks can't be ignored.

The game-ending interception in overtime against the Jacksonville Jaguars was not his fault, but it was Noah Brown who did it. They had a few miscommunications.

Which players have the highest payouts?

• Dolphins put trust in Bridgewater

• Darnold's patience pays off

• Hockenson trade an all-timer

McCarthy thinks that if we keep making it more than it is, it will become asnakebit.

There has been faulty decision-making, like an anticipation throw in the end zone at Green Bay, when a field goal would have given the Cowboys a 10 point lead, and a pass Indianapolis Colts corner Stephon Gilmore picked off Michael Gallup.

You need a short-term memory to play this position. You have to be able to turn the page and just move on regardless of whether you threw the pick or not. That is something that I am proud of.

The Cowboys have won despite the high rate of turnovers. They are 6-1 in the last six games in which they have had a pick. He came back from his thumb injury and they are 8-2. They've beaten three playoff teams and two other potential playoff teams despite the fact that they've thrown the ball away.

The playoffs heighten things. He knows it better than anyone and has three picks in the playoffs.

The ultimate goal is to play in the Superbowl. He would be the fourth quarterback in the Super Bowl era to lead the league in regular-season picks. Jim Kelly did it in 1992. In 2007, Eli Manning did it. Matthew did it with the Rams.

Manning and Stafford could lead the way for the team. They won the Super Bowl by cutting down on their picks in the playoffs. Manning had one pick in the playoffs, which was less than in the regular season, but it was still an improvement. In the regular season, Stafford had a 2.8% intercept rate.

"I don't think of that, 'Oh, this is going to continue to happen,'" I have to fix the ones on my end, and I have to make sure the guys are focused and understand that we don't get a lot of opportunities.

Every drive is important as we move forward. When you go to the playoffs, you have to play every drive like it is to win the game. For me, it heightens our focus and understanding, whether it's a tight window or not. Everyone is on the same page and understands the magnitude of each play.
