Dak Prescott absolutely went off on Sunday, leading the Dallas Cowboys to a huge 37-20 win over the Washington Commanders, and in the process, etching his name deeper into the team’s history books. The dude completed 26 of 31 passes for 279 yards and four touchdowns, without a single interception. Talk about a statement game after their rough Week 1.
That “Piss Missile” Throw Was Just A Warm-Up
Seriously, Prescott was throwing darts all day. Tom Brady himself called one of Prescott’s throws an “absolute piss missile,” and when Brady’s dishing out compliments like that, you know it was legit. That legendary throw was a 35-yard completion to CeeDee Lamb, a deep pass threaded through a super tight window right along the sideline. It was arguably his most impressive toss, helping the Cowboys chew up yardage on a drive that stretched their lead to three scores. But that wasn’t even the biggest story. Prescott had something even more significant cooking up his sleeve, something that’s gonna be talked about for a long, long time.
Prescott Blazes Past A Legend, Sets The Bar High
This game wasn’t just about a big win; it was about history. Prescott tied, and then shattered, Tony Romo’s record for the most touchdown passes thrown by a player in Cowboys history. His 24-yard touchdown pass to Lamb, which ultimately gave Dallas that 37-20 lead, was his 249th, blowing past Romo’s mark of 248. It’s a massive achievement, and Prescott himself acknowledged the weight of it. He told Brady, “It’s a blessing. Growing up, being a Cowboys fan and watching Tony [Romo] set the bar , and like you said, Troy [Aikman], Roger [Staubach] and some of the greats that have come before me , I’m honored. It’s something I don’t take lightly.” He’s not done either, saying he’s “just getting started” and planning to “set this one high, which makes it harder for the next guy to break.” That’s the mindset of a true leader. He also remembered his late mother, Peggy, saying she’d be “proud” and that “it starts with her.” You can tell this record wasn’t just about football for him.
This win was crucial for the Cowboys. After an unimpressive Week 1 loss to the New York Giants, another loss to Washington would’ve put them in a bad, bad spot. Especially when you look at their schedule: their next five games are against teams projected to go at least .500. So, that decisive victory on Sunday, driven by Prescott’s record-setting performance, showed the kind of resilience this team needed. What’s next for Prescott and the Cowboys? They’ve got a tough stretch ahead, but with their QB playing at this level and raising the bar for himself, you know they’ll be ready to bring that fire.
