Dak Prescott Breaks Tony Romo’s Cowboys TD Record in 37-20 Win Over Commanders

Prescott’s fourth-quarter touchdown gave him sole possession of the franchise mark and places pressure on Washington after Jayden Daniels left with a left-elbow injury.

Overview

  • The Dallas Cowboys beat the Washington Commanders 37-20 on Sunday at AT&T Stadium, improving Dallas to 1-1 and dropping Washington to 0-2.
  • Dak Prescott completed 26 of 31 passes for 279 yards and four touchdowns, and his 24-yard fourth-quarter strike to CeeDee Lamb was his 249th career regular-season touchdown pass to surpass Tony Romo.
  • CeeDee Lamb finished with eight catches for 153 yards and two touchdowns, including the record-setting reception from Prescott.
  • Commanders starter Jayden Daniels suffered a left-elbow injury on the final play before halftime, did not return to the game, and faces renewed concern because it was the same elbow he dislocated last season.
  • The win extended Prescott’s streak of home division victories to 20 games, ties an NFL modern-era benchmark, and leaves both clubs with near-term roster questions ahead of Dallas’s Week 3 trip to play Baltimore in Rio de Janeiro.
