Dak Prescott set a Dallas Cowboys franchise record as his team beat the Washington Commanders 37-20, while Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels left the game with a dislocated elbow.

Prescott’s 249th career touchdown pass moved him into sole possession of the Cowboys’ franchise record and added a major individual milestone to the victory.

Prescott reaches 249 touchdown passes

The record-setting pass gave Prescott another place in Dallas history. Reaching 249 career touchdown passes moved him beyond the previous franchise mark and highlighted his longevity as the Cowboys’ quarterback.

Dallas turned the performance into a comfortable win, finishing with 37 points and controlling enough of the game to keep Washington from mounting a comeback.

Daniels suffers dislocated elbow

The Commanders’ defeat was compounded by the injury to Jayden Daniels, who suffered a dislocated elbow before half-time.

The injury will require further evaluation, and Washington will wait for additional medical information before determining how long Daniels may be unavailable.

What the result means

For Dallas, the victory brings both a team result and a landmark moment for Prescott. For Washington, the immediate concern is Daniels’ health and what his absence could mean for the offence in the coming weeks.

The Commanders are expected to provide further updates once the quarterback has undergone additional assessment.
