Prescott Passes Romo for the Cowboys' All-Time Touchdown Record

Dak Prescott threw his 249th career touchdown pass as a Cowboy in Sunday's Week 2 win, surpassing Tony Romo to become the franchise's all-time leader in that category. The milestone arrived in a victory, which gave it a cleaner backdrop than the contract uncertainty and defensive turmoil that have defined Dallas's early 2026 storyline.

Romo held the record for the better part of a decade after his own career ended, a tenure that covered some of the franchise's more competitive recent seasons. Prescott has now eclipsed that mark in his eleventh year with the organization, having thrown 30 touchdown passes in 2025 alone on his way to the record.

The Cowboys have had little to celebrate through the first two weeks given the injuries piling up across the defense, so the front office will take the moment. For Prescott, it is the clearest statistical argument yet that his place in franchise history is settled, whatever happens with his contract situation going forward.
