The beginning of Dak Prescott's NFL career has been nothing short of miraculous. Only Tom Brady attempted more passes (162) before throwing his first interception. The Cowboys rookie, who has thrown 131 passes through four games this season, has a decent chance to surpass Brady's total.
Prescott, 23, will try to maintain his streak against the Bengals on Sunday. And Cincinnati believes Prescott's hot start is no fluke.
WEEK 5 PICKS: Straight up | Against the spread
That's according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, who tweeted Sunday morning, "After studying each of Dak Prescott's 131 NFL pass attempts, Bengals do not believe the Cowboys' QB has thrown a single bad pass this season."
The Twitter world didn't take long to fire back. Most replies referenced Prescott's near-interception last week in San Francisco.

Did Bengals see the pass that hit #49ers safety Eric Reid's hands before he dropped potential INT? (Otherwise, yes Dak been on target) https://t.co/6aObzW0P1v

FANTASY: Week 5 QB rankings
Prescott and the Cowboys enter Week 5 with a 3-1 record and good sitting in the NFC East. Even if he hasn't been as perfect as his opponent suggests, the fourth-round draft pick out of Mississippi State has blown away expectations with his 7.7 yards per attempt, 67.9 completion percentage and 98.5 rating.
Tony Romo's return from his back injury, whenever that may be, will cause quite a debate if Prescott keeps up his stellar, almost-mistake-free play.
