Dak Prescott keeps scoring.

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after leading his team to a 35-29 overtime win over the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass.

Sideline video of Prescott and some of his teammates firing up each other before and during the Patriots win was released on Cowboys’ official social media platforms.

Prescott threw for 445 yards and three touchdowns. It’s the most passing yards ever allowed against a Bill Belichick defense. The 567 total yards the Cowboys gained are the most Belichick as ever allowed as a head coach in his 27-year career.

It’s Prescott’s fourth such award. The last came in Week 2 a year ago when the Cowboys beat the Falcons 40-39.

Trevon Diggs earned NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors in Week 4 when he had two interceptions against the Carolina Panthers. Diggs also was named NFC Defensive Player of the Month for September.
