Dak Prescott is on the cusp of making franchise history as he needs just 160 passing yards to surpass Tony Romo for the most passing yards in Dallas Cowboys history. This record-setting moment is anticipated to occur this Sunday when the Cowboys take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
Historically, Prescott’s performances have made it clear that passing for fewer than 160 yards is a rarity for him. The last instance of this happening was during a game against the Atlanta Falcons last year, which marked his final appearance in the 2024 season. Before that, he had another sub-160 outing against the Buffalo Bills late in the 2023 season. This context underscores the expectation that Prescott will not only reach but exceed this mark, especially considering the caliber of his play.
As of Week 12 of 2025, the Dallas Cowboys’ all-time passing leaders stand as follows:
1. Tony Romo: 34,183 yards
2. Dak Prescott: 34,024 yards
3. Troy Aikman: 32,942 yards
4. Roger Staubach: 22,700 yards
5. Danny White: 21,959 yards
It is highly likely that Prescott will hold every significant passing record in franchise history by the time he concludes his career. Like Romo before him, Prescott has thrived in an era that favors passing, effectively taking advantage of the opportunities presented to him. His combination of talent and durability has paved the way for his ascent in the record books.
As fans gear up for the exciting matchup on Sunday afternoon, history is set to be made, marking another significant chapter in the legacy of Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys.
