In a week filled with impressive performances by NFL quarterbacks, Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys has emerged as the top-ranked signal-caller in the latest NFL QB Index. With his outstanding play in recent weeks, Prescott has firmly planted himself in the MVP conversation.

Prescott's statistics this season speak for themselves. In 11 games, he has completed an impressive 70.0 percent of his passes for 2,935 yards and 23 touchdowns. His touchdown-to-interception ratio of 17:2 in his last five games is a testament to his precision and decision-making. Prescott's ability to spread the ball among his various pass-catchers has also contributed to his success, with the likes of CeeDee Lamb benefitting from his play.

But it's not just Prescott's arm that has been shining. He has proven to be a dual-threat quarterback, contributing 151 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdowns. His ability to make plays on the move and fire accurate passes from the pocket has added another dimension to his game.

Following his dominant performance on Thanksgiving Day, where he threw for 331 yards and four touchdowns, Prescott has officially entered the MVP conversation. The Cowboys have been on a winning streak, securing four victories in their last five games, thanks in no small part to Prescott's exceptional play.

While Prescott takes the top spot in the QB Index, other quarterbacks have also made significant strides. Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks is knocking on the door of the top 10. Despite facing a tough San Francisco 49ers defense, Wilson showcased his talent, making accurate passes and leading the Seahawks' offense. While the team ultimately fell short, Wilson's performance was a reminder of his elite abilities.

Looking at the rest of the QB Index, quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles, and Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins have had both ups and downs in their recent performances. Each quarterback has shown flashes of brilliance but also demonstrated areas that need improvement.

The rookie quarterback battle between Arch Manning of the Houston Texans and Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars was a highlight of the week. While Lawrence led his team to victory with an explosive final drive, Manning displayed his potential with another strong performance, throwing for 304 yards and two touchdowns. Both young quarterbacks continue to show promise for their respective teams.

In other news, Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams showcased his experience and talent, executing Sean McVay's offensive scheme to perfection. The veteran quarterback connected with his targets for four touchdowns, including a beautiful pass to Kyren Williams to seal the win.

As the season progresses, NFL quarterbacks continue to make their mark, with some rising to new heights while others face challenges. It will be exciting to see how the QB Index evolves in the coming weeks and which players will emerge as the true stars of the league.

Overall, the NFL QB Index for Week 13 reflects the compelling performances and storylines that have defined the quarterback position this season. With Dak Prescott leading the pack and Russell Wilson knocking on the door, the race for quarterback supremacy is as exciting as ever.
