ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes to break Tony Romo’s career franchise record, and the Dallas Cowboys beat Washington 37-20 on Sunday after the Commanders’ Jayden Daniels went down with another gruesome-looking injury to the left elbow he dislocated last season.
Prescott’s record-breaking 249th TD pass was his second TD of the game to CeeDee Lamb, who had 153 yards receiving. Tight end Jake Ferguson had the other two scoring catches.
The Cowboys (1-1) led 17-10 with the Commanders on the Dallas 1-yard line with 3 seconds remaining in the first half. Left guard Chris Paul stepped on Daniels' foot as he backed away from center, and Daniels' left elbow appeared to bend the wrong way as he braced himself and threw a wild pass that was incomplete as time expired.
Daniels stayed down momentarily, then started to walk to the sideline before going to the turf again.
Daniels' head was covered in a towel as he left the field on a cart several minutes after all the Dallas players and most of the Washington players had gone to their locker rooms.
