No Dallas Cowboy has ever thrown more touchdown passes than new record holder Dak Prescott.
He tossed four of them to two different receivers in a bounce-back win against the Washington Commanders in Week 2 and topped his predecessor at the position, Tony Romo.
CeeDee Lamb knocked everything out of the park, as did Jake Ferguson. The defense is still a mess, but can move forward with a 1-1 record. Tom Brady cursed when Jayden Daniels popped his arm the wrong way and Brandon Aubrey regained his groove.
The Dallas Cowboys are righting themselves as they head to Rio de Janeiro to face a similarly mercurial Baltimore Ravens in the shadow of Christ the Redeemer. That sounds fun.
Dak Prescott sets Dallas Cowboys TD record
Dak Prescott threw his 246th touchdown pass to Lamb, his 247th and 248th
to Jake Furguson and his 249th to Lamb, with that, he broke the franchise’s all-time record set by Tony Romo at 248.
Yes, Prescott was happy.
"I'm blessed, honored," Prescott said. "As I told you earlier in the week, records are meant to be broken. This is my time to break this one. Pretty cool to do it against the team I threw my first touchdown against ten years ago or so. Definitely humbling, something I don't take for granted. The great history of this organization, of the past quarterbacks before me."
Who had the Dallas Cowboys highlights?
Take your pick among Aubrey, Lamb or Ferguson. They were all fantasy gods. Aubrey kicked three field goals, including a 60-yarder. Ferguson and Lamb each had two touchdowns, with Lamb catching eight passes for 153 yards.
Prescott got off to an epic fantasy start but settled for mere brilliance in reality as he threw for 279 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions.
Who is Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator?
Christian Parker is the defensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys. This is his first year with the team after coming over from the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles, where he was a defensive backs coach. He has been well-received, though Dallas’ first two games on defense have been a mixed bag at best.
What were CeeDee Lamb’s stats?
Lamb had eight catches on nine targets for 153 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His play helped the Cowboys win and likely helped anyone who had him on their fantasy team.
How bad is Washington's Jayden Daniels injury?
Daniels, the quarterback for the Washington Commanders, left the game on the last play of the first half (the definitive play of the game, a Cowboys goal-line stand), with a dislocated elbow. His foot was stepped on by his own player and he used his left (non-throwing) arm to brace himself. That led to his elbow ending up pointing in the wrong direction.
The diagnosis is a dislocated elbow. He will have an MRI at some point on Monday, Sept. 21, at which point a timetable on his return can be given. Best case, he could only be out for a few weeks, as dislocations often look much more gruesome than they are.
Speaking of how terrible it looked at the time, color commentator Tom Brady, who also played quarterback in his career, said on FOX, “Oh ****.” It was a four-letter word.
How to get a Von Miller Cowboys jersey
Is anyone wants to sport a No. 40 Von Miller jersey, a number he bought by giving away a share in his chicken farm to the former No. 40, fullback Hunter Luepke, they can buy it on the Dallas Cowboys team merch store for $150. For what it’s worth a new Hunter Luepke No. 30 jersey goes for $190.
For that same $190, you can have a No. 40 Luepke jersey recreated, which would make for the most obscure joke ever and raise questions about your stock in a chicken farm. As for what Miller did in Dallas’ game with Washington Sunday, Sept. 20, he had half a tackle.
Did the Dallas Cowboys win and what is their record?
Yes. They defeated the Washington Commanders 37-20. The ‘Boys are 1-1.
How long has Dak Prescott been with the Dallas Cowboys?
Prescott was a fourth-round draft pick out of Mississippi State in 2016, as Dallas was hoping he could be an eventual successor to incumbent but aging Tony Romo. Instead, Romo was injured in the preseason (part of the reason top-line players such as Prescott no longer play in the preseason), Prescott took over and is now in his 11th season as Dallas’ starting quarterback.
In the game on Sunday, Sept. 20, he was 26 of 31 passes for 279 yards and four touchdowns as he continues to establish himself as a top-10 quarterback in the league.
Who do the Dallas Cowboys play next?
The Dallas Cowboys “host” the Baltimore Ravens in the first game in NFL history in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The 2:25 p.m. MT/3:25 p.m. CT/5:25 local Rio time kickoff will be televised on CBS.
