Dak Prescott just broke the Cowboys’ all-time passing touchdown record last week. Now, get this: he’s looking to hit *two* more massive milestones this Sunday in Rio de Janeiro. Seriously, the stakes for the team’s early season record are HUGE.

History in Sight This Sunday

A win on Sunday would tie Prescott with Hall of Famer Roger Staubach for second-most wins in franchise history, sitting at 85. Just incredible company, right? Troy Aikman’s still ahead with 94, but Dak is climbing fast. And if that wasn’t enough, he needs just one touchdown pass to reach 250 for his career. If he throws that TD on Sunday, he’d be the ninth fastest in NFL history to hit that mark, doing it in only 142 games. That’s pure firepower!

Avoiding a Rough Start

The Cowboys are sitting at 1-1 right now, which means they absolutely need a W. Why? Because a loss on Sunday would give them their third consecutive 1-2 start to a season. Nobody wants that kind of early slump. Dak’s individual records are awesome, sure, but getting that win is what truly matters to get the team’s season momentum rolling.
