Prescott entered the game needing four TDs to overtake Romo’s franchise mark of 248. He achieved that milestone with a fourth-quarter strike to CeeDee Lamb, giving him sole possession of the Cowboys’ all-time touchdown passing record. The connection with Lamb has become one of the most productive quarterback-receiver duos in team history, as the fourth-quarter touchdown was their second scoring play of the afternoon and marked the 37th touchdown Prescott has thrown to Lamb—the most of any receiver in Prescott’s career.
In addition to the Romo feat, Prescott connected with Jake Ferguson for two touchdowns, giving him four TD passes on the day. The performance helped Dallas rebound from a Week 1 loss to the New York Giants and move to 1-1 on the season.
Prescott’s ascent in Dallas history underscores a pattern of sustained production. He already holds the franchise records for passing yards and completions, and this Sunday added the record for touchdown passes in the regular season. With 249 regular-season touchdown passes, Prescott surpassed Romo, who achieved 248 across 156 games from 2006 to 2016.
One notable Cowboys record remains out of reach for now: regular-season victories. Prescott entered the game with 83 wins, while Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman sit higher on the list, with 85 and 94, respectively. Still, Prescott’s latest achievement adds another chapter to his evolving legacy as Dallas’ quarterback, marking him as the franchise’s all-time leader in touchdown passes and reinforcing his place in club history since taking over in 2016.
