"The inevitable is finally here and Dak Prescott is here for it. As the Dallas Cowboys head into another heavyweight showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dak Prescott enters the game needing only 160 passing yards to surpass Tony Romo and take over the No. 1 spot on the Cowboys' all-time passing yardage list. What once seemed like a distant milestone has become a storyline with historic weight - and the timing couldn't be more poetic."
"Tony Romo's career remains one of the most statistically productive in Cowboys history. Over 12 seasons, Romo produced: 34,183 passing yards 248 touchdowns 117 interceptions 97.1 passer rating 65.3% completion percentage 219.1 yards per game 24 fourth-quarter comebacks From 2006-2014 - the heart of his career - Romo delivered some of the most efficient and explosive quarterback play the franchise had ever seen. His ability to create outside structure, win late in games, and carry flawed rosters made him a beloved figure and a statistical titan."
"Across 10 seasons (2016-2025), Dak Prescott has assembled one of the most efficient passing résumés in the NFL: 34,024 passing yards (entering Eagles week) 234 touchdowns 88 interceptions 98.5 passer rating 67.1% completion percentage 257.8 yards per game 17 fourth-quarter comebacks What stands out is not just volume - but efficiency: Fewer games than Romo (132 to 150) Yet Prescott has nearly matched Romo's career yardage. Higher completion percentage (67.1% vs. 65.3%)"
Dak Prescott needs 160 passing yards to eclipse Tony Romo as the Dallas Cowboys' all-time passing leader. Tony Romo compiled 34,183 yards, 248 touchdowns, 117 interceptions, a 97.1 passer rating, and 24 fourth-quarter comebacks over 12 seasons. Prescott, across 10 seasons entering Eagles week, has 34,024 yards, 234 touchdowns, 88 interceptions, a 98.5 passer rating, and 17 fourth-quarter comebacks. Prescott reached nearly the same yardage in fewer games while posting a higher completion percentage, higher yards per game, and fewer interceptions. The milestone arrives during the Cowboys–Eagles rivalry, giving the moment added historical resonance.
