Dak Prescott just shattered Tony Romo’s franchise record for most touchdown passes in Dallas Cowboys history, but honestly, what everyone’s talking about is a tweet from 2012. After Sunday’s insane 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders, where Prescott went off, the real buzz was all about his past comments on his predecessor resurfacing.
Record-Shattering Performance… and the Ghosts of Tweets Past
Dude, Prescott was ON FIRE against Washington. He tossed four touchdowns, pushing his career total to a ridiculous 249, blowing past Romo’s mark. We’re talking about a guy who just bounced back hard after a rough season opener against the New York Giants. The stat sheet backs it up too: Prescott completed 26 of his 31 attempts for 279 yards. That’s efficiency, pure and simple. This wasn’t some fluke; he put on a clinic. But the moment the buzzer sounded, the conversation shifted. Because as awesome as he was, everyone wanted to know about those old, salty Romo tweets.
‘Just a Dumb Fan’ No More
Remember back in 2012? When Romo threw three interceptions in a brutal 28-18 loss to Washington? Yeah, a young Dak Prescott, a self-proclaimed “big fan of Romo” and the Cowboys, hopped on Twitter and absolutely tore into him. He tweeted he was “DONE taking up for Romo,” adding “#hadenough,” and didn’t pull any punches, saying Romo “doesn’t finish” and those picks weren’t on the O-line, “#noexcuses.” He even called one “the most embarrassing one of them all.” Talk about savage, right? Fast forward to Sunday, post-record, and Prescott totally owned it. He said, “I was just a dumb fan at that time, too. I didn’t know exactly what he was dealing with, you know what I mean?” Man, that’s real. Even former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett jumped in on NBC’s Football Night in America, saying Prescott’s been “awesome for a long time” and we need to “appreciate that guy’s greatness.” It shows you how much perspective changes when you’re actually the one under center.
So, the Cowboys are sitting at 1-1 after that wild ride, and Dak’s got this huge record under his belt while confronting his own past. Next up, it’s Week 3 and a showdown against the Baltimore Ravens, who are also 1-1. This is gonna be a serious test, not just for Dak’s arm, but for the whole squad. Can they keep that momentum rolling, or will the Ravens shut down this high-flying offense? You know I’ll be glued to the screen for that one!
