Prescott Breaks Cowboys Passing TD Record in Win Over Commanders
Dak Prescott threw four touchdowns without an interception in Dallas's 37-20 victory over Washington, completing 26 of 31 passes for 279 yards. His 249th career touchdown pass surpassed Tony Romo's franchise record. Prescott dedicated the achievement to his late mother and said he aims to set the mark even higher.
Prescott entered the league as a fourth-round selection in 2016 and has now surpassed a franchise mark held by Romo, who preceded him as the Cowboys' starter. The quarterback's four-touchdown outing came after Dallas dropped its season opener to the Giants, making the divisional win over Washington critical for the team's early momentum. Prescott's next challenge arrives against the Ravens in Rio de Janeiro, followed by a stretch of five opponents projected to finish at or above .500. He also credited his late mother, Peggy, for instilling the resilience that carried him through the achievement.
This record-breaking performance could reinforce Prescott's standing among elite NFL quarterbacks and shape how fans and analysts evaluate his legacy in Dallas. It may also boost team morale during a demanding stretch of the schedule, potentially influencing playoff positioning later in the season. For Cowboys supporters, such milestones often deepen emotional investment in the franchise, while younger players may see Prescott's journey from fourth-round pick to record-holder as a model of perseverance.
