Conference Game Stats in 2021

Hurts – 60.6% completion percentage with a QBR of 80.9

Jones – 63.6% completion percentage with a QBR of 81.3

Prescott – 69.9% completion percentage with a QBR of 112.2

Wentz – 64.1% completion percentage with a QBR of 97.4 *vs NFC teams

Here, we are comparing how these quarterbacks faired against the rest of the teams in the NFC Conference as a whole. No surprise here that Prescott was the better quarterback against the conference with a higher completion percentage but also a QBR of 112.2. Compared to the rest of the group, Prescott was far better against the NFC than the rest and that’s a big advantage when you look at positioning for the playoffs and Wild Card spots.

Wentz rose his play against the NFC compared to how he did against the AFC which put him second on this list. Hurts fell to fourth on this list. If Prescott can keep this percentage in this range, then it will go a long way to keep the Cowboys in the playoff and/or Wild Card hunt going forward.

Winner: Dak Prescott
