"On the subject of records, tight end Jake Ferguson is chasing one from an individual standpoint. Last week Ferguson hauled in his eighth touchdown of the season and that means he trails the single-season record for touchdowns by a tight end in team history by one entering the finale. Billy Joe DuPree originally set the record of nine touchdowns by a tight end during the 1978 season, an amazing one where Dallas ultimately lost the Super Bowl."
"Once upon a time the Cowboys saw a tight end have a field day during a season finale on the road against the Giants. Back during the 2018 finale (another game that was meaningless, but because Dallas was already set in their playoff seeding that year) you will recall that Blake Jarwin had a hat trick on the day. If Jake Ferguson were to have multiple scores on Sunday then he would hold this record all to himself."
With one game remaining, the Dallas Cowboys can finish 8-8-1 with a win to avoid a losing season. Tight end Jake Ferguson has eight touchdowns and needs one more to surpass the franchise single-season tight end touchdown mark of nine. Billy Joe DuPree set the nine-touchdown mark in 1978 and Jason Witten tied it in 2010. Ferguson has benefited from a 17-game schedule to reach eight touchdowns. A comparable finale occurred in 2018 when Blake Jarwin scored three times against the Giants. Multiple scores in the finale would allow Ferguson to own the record outright.
