Prescott Sets Cowboys TD Record as Daniels Injured in Win

Published 21 September 2026

Dak Prescott set the Dallas Cowboys' all-time record for career touchdown passes in a 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders on Sunday, while Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow that could significantly impact the Commanders' season. Prescott threw his 249th career touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, a 24-yard strike to CeeDee Lamb, surpassing Tony Romo's franchise mark of 248. The 33-year-old quarterback completed 26 of 31 passes for 279 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions, leading Dallas to its first win of the season after an opening loss to the New York Giants. The victory improved the Cowboys' record to 1-1 and avoided an 0-2 start. Prescott's performance was highlighted by his connection with Lamb, who caught eight passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Jake Ferguson also contributed two scoring receptions. The game's tone shifted dramatically on the final play of the first half. With the Commanders trailing 17-10 and positioned at the Dallas 1-yard line, Daniels was injured as left guard Chris Paul accidentally stepped on his foot.
