Dak Prescott surpassed Tony Romo in Dallas Cowboys history after leading the team past the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The record is so memorable that he had to reflect on the accomplishment.
Prescott started the 11th year of his NFL career with the Cowboys. He shines as one of the best quarterbacks in the league, hoping to lead Dallas to serious playoff contention this season.
Going into the Week 2 clash with Washington, Prescott racked up 245 touchdown passes throughout his career with the Cowboys so far. He only trailed franchise legend Tony Romo, who threw for 248 touchdowns during his Dallas stint from 2004 to 2016.
Prescott was remarkably accurate with his throws against Washington. He completed 26 out of 31 passes for 279 yards and four touchdowns while rushing four times for 26 yards.
This paved the way for him to surpass Romo and make incredible franchise history in front of his home crowd. Prescott reflected on the achievement after the game, being proud to have been successful in his pursuit of the record.
âÂÂIâÂÂm super humbled. Super honored. God is great,â Prescott said, per reporter Jon Machota.
