Dak Prescott became the Dallas Cowboys' all-time leader in touchdown passes with a 24-yard strike to Cee Dee Lamb in the fourth quarter of a 37-20 win over the Washington Commanders. The pass brought his career total to 249, surpassing Tony Romo's previous record of 248. Prescott completed 26 of 31 passes for 279 yards and added 26 rushing yards on four attempts.

He wore a Roger Staubach No. 12 jersey as a tribute to the Hall of Fame quarterback. The record-breaking touchdown was Prescott's 39th to Lamb, the most he has thrown to any receiver. Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer highlighted the emotional significance of the moment, noting owner Jerry Jones praised Prescott's hard work and leadership.

Prescott, a fourth-round pick in 2016, now leads the franchise in passing yards, completions, attempts, passer rating, completion percentage, and touchdown passes. He dedicated the achievement to his family and encouraged young athletes from underprivileged backgrounds to believe in themselves.
