As Sunday Week 12 arrives, Dak Prescott is closing in on one of the most prestigious milestones in Dallas Cowboys history. The veteran quarterback has thrown for 34,024 passing yards in his career, leaving him just 160 yards shy of surpassing Tony Romo’s 34,183 to become the franchise’s all-time passing yards leader. The current top three in Cowboys history reads: Tony Romo, Dak Prescott, and Troy Aikman — a reminder of the elite company Prescott is on the verge of joining.
Prescott has been among the league’s most productive passers this season, ranking fifth in the NFL in passing yards with 2,587. He enters Week 12 fresh off a 268-yard performance in a 33–16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, continuing the consistency that has fueled Dallas’ offense.
This Sunday presents a fitting stage for history, as Prescott and the 4–5 Cowboys square off against the first-place Philadelphia Eagles in a pivotal NFC East matchup. With both playoff positioning and a franchise record on the line, Prescott has the opportunity to deliver one of the signature moments of his Cowboys career.
