Prescott Breaks Romo's Cowboys TD Record in Win

Dak Prescott set a new standard for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, surpassing Tony Romo to become the franchise's all-time leader in career touchdown passes. The milestone came during a 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders at AT&T Stadium. Prescott threw his record-breaking 249th career touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, connecting with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb on a 24-yard score. The play gave the Cowboys a commanding lead and cemented a historic night for the quarterback. Prescott finished the game completing 26 of 31 passes for 279 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. The performance was a decisive response for Dallas after a season-opening loss to the New York Giants. It also highlighted Prescott's sustained excellence against divisional opponents. Entering the game, he held a 19-game home winning streak against NFC East teams, one victory shy of tying Tom Brady's modern-era record for consecutive home wins against divisional foes. Prescott's career statistics now place him atop the Cowboys' record books. He has surpassed Romo's previous mark of 248 touchdown passes and also leads in career passing yards and completions.
