In 2020, Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 5. In the 2022 season, Prescott injured his thumb and missed 5 weeks while Cooper Rush swooped in and kept the team afloat during Prescott's absence. Since 2020, Prescott has played in 69% of the games (58 of 84). When your quarterback misses that many games, it's hard for a team to succeed.
