The Dallas Cowboys need to strike a balance.<\/p>\n

Right now, they’re not.<\/p>\n

The postseason-contending Cowboys long to be aggressive on offense, to control games and game plans complementary to a feisty defense.<\/p>\n

But there is a cost.<\/p>\n

Namely, the worst interception clip of quarterback Dak Prescott’s career. Prescott has thrown nine interceptions in eight active games. Team owner and general manager Jerry Jones confirmed Tuesday morning that he is concerned about this liability.<\/p>\n

\u201cInterception concerns can neutralize great execution and effort in other parts of the game,\u201d Jones said on Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan<\/a>. \u201cThe definition of aggressiveness doesn’t have to include turnovers. It does not have to include that. ‘Aggressive’ does not.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do like aggressiveness without turnovers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cowboys offense has been explosive since Prescott’s return from five weeks spent rehabilitating a thumb fracture in his throwing hand. Dallas has averaged 35.7 points per game, scoring a touchdown on an impressive 82% of red zone visits.<\/p>\n

But Prescott entered this season with a generally clean reputation for ball security, from his 23-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio his rookie year through a 37-to-10 mark last season. From 2016 to 2021, Prescott’s 1.7% pass-interception ratio ranked 13th among 97 quarterbacks who attempted at least 100 passes. This year: His 3.6% rate ranks third-worst. Among 40 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 100 passes this season, only Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields and New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston have fared worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am damn sure not a fan of that,\u201d Prescott said<\/a>. \u201cIt’s frustrating. It’s very, very frustrating.\u201d<\/p>\n
