NFL defenses may have figured something out about Dak Prescott, and the numbers suggest one of his greatest strengths is no longer what it used to be.

For years, Dak has carried a reputation as one of the NFL's best quarterbacks against the blitz. But after the Cowboys' disastrous offensive performance against Tampa Bay, we went digging into the data AND the film. What we found raises some serious questions about how defenses are attacking Dak and why the Cowboys offense keeps getting shut down.

On today's How Bout Wow, Gavin Dawson and Newbear Lesniewski break down:

🏈 The surprising numbers: Why Dak's performance against the blitz has declined over the last three seasons.

🏈 The defensive blueprint: How Todd Bowles, Brian Flores and other defensive minds are using disguised pressures, exotic coverages and blitz packages to confuse Dallas.

🏈 What the Tampa film reveals: The protection breakdowns, questionable play calls and defensive tactics that had Dak struggling to find answers.

🏈 The fourth-quarter breakthrough: Dak was spectacular late against Tampa. So what changed, and why couldn't the Cowboys find those answers sooner?

🏈 The solution: What Brian Schottenheimer and the Cowboys must change to get this offense back to an elite level.

PLUS — we've got a fascinating stat that challenges the idea that Dak and the Cowboys have a history of overlooking inferior opponents. And some eye-opening numbers about Christian Parker's defense that might change how you think about blitzing.

The Cowboys need an offense capable of carrying a struggling defense. Have NFL coordinators discovered a blueprint to prevent that from happening? Or are the answers hiding in plain sight?
