- Dak Prescott tied Tony Romo atop the Cowboys' all-time passing touchdowns leaderboard at 248, hitting the milestone on his third TD pass of the day against the Washington Commanders in Week 2.
- Prescott reached 248 TDs in 15 fewer career games than Romo played for Dallas, and is now positioned to take sole possession of another franchise passing record from Romo.
- Prescott already owns Cowboys records for completion percentage (66.9%), passing yards (36,164), and passer rating (98.2), all previously held by Romo.
- Before Romo, Pro Football Hall of Famer Troy Aikman held several of those franchise passing marks — and Hall of Famer Roger Staubach also looms in the lineage, placing Prescott statistically alongside both.
- Prescott was a 2016 fourth-round pick initially slated to be Dallas's third quarterback before preseason injuries to Romo and backup Kellen Moore thrust him into the starting role.
- Prescott's record-tying touchdown was his second of the day to tight end Jake Ferguson, and he told reporters he's "just getting started" and expects to play "for a long time."
Why it matters: Prescott has now overtaken Romo in every major Cowboys passing category, and with one more touchdown pass he claims the all-time TD record outright — a staggering rise for a 2016 fourth-round pick who was originally Dallas's third-string quarterback.
