Dak Prescott Breaks Cowboys Career Touchdown Record

An efficient four-touchdown game that moved him past Tony Romo makes further franchise records likely under his contract through 2028 and shifts focus to playoff wins as the defining test of his legacy.

Overview

  • Prescott threw a 24-yard touchdown to CeeDee Lamb that became his 249th career TD, breaking Tony Romo’s club record during the Cowboys’ 37-20 win on Sunday.
  • He completed 26 of 31 passes for 279 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions and posted a 143.8 passer rating in the game that evened Dallas’ record at 1-1.
  • Prescott said he feels 'blessed' and wants to 'double' his TD total, and he wore a Roger Staubach jersey while reflecting emotionally after the game.
  • Lamb caught the record-breaking pass and finished with eight catches for 153 yards and two scores, giving the Prescott–Lamb duo 37 career touchdown connections.
  • Washington’s Jayden Daniels left with a dislocated left elbow and Dallas dealt with several defensive absences, and reporters note Prescott’s contract through 2028 makes more club milestones likely though postseason wins will determine his lasting legacy.
