I don't think Dak is going to get rattled vs the Packers.
Now if the Cowboys advance to NFC le and then SuperBowl....we shall see how rattled (or not) he gets.

Also, while overall the rookie playoff record is not good (8-15), it's not all bleak news including some fairly recent successes.
Flacco 2-1
Sanchez 2-1

We just saw an 18 year old kid in a game bigger than an NFL playoff game on the road look as cool and composed as cool and composed gets, talking about Jalen Hurts with Alabama. His face never changed expression, dead serious.

It's not as much about Dak as it is Aaron Rodgers. The guy is red hot and on a roll.

Then there's the fact the Cowboys haven't played in a meaningful game in over a month while the Packers have had to be up for every game the last seven weeks, that really is a very big deal.

Don't know if the Tony Romo factor with get inside Prescott head, knowing if the Cowboys do get down 10-14 points will he be benched. From what we have seen it doesn;t look like that will bother him.

He is in a rather unique situation unlike those other rookies you mentioned.
