Dak Prescott passes Tony Romo for most passing yards in Dallas Cowboys history
Dak Prescott made Dallas Cowboys history on Sunday, as he broke Tony Romo ‘s record for the most career passing yards in team history. The veteran quarterback broke the record in the third quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles when he threw a nine-yard pass to George Pickens.
Romo threw for 34,183 yards for the Cowboys, and Dak Prescott needed just 160 yards to pass him on the all-time list. In his 10 seasons in Dallas, Prescott has collected at least 2,500 passing yards eight times.
Along with making Cowboys history, Prescott helped the team earn a 24-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The former Mississippi State star threw for 354 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday, and he now has 34,378 yards in his career.
Prescott became the starting QB in 2016 after Tony Romo suffered an injury before the start of the season. Romo saw action in one game during the 2016 season and announced his retirement in 2017.
Dak Prescott talks getting Cowboys to the playoffs
Becoming the Cowboys’ all-time passing leader is a big deal, but Prescott is focused on getting Dallas to the playoffs. Sunday’s win keeps the Cowboys in the playoff race, but Prescott knows they need to keep winning to have a chance.
“[These next three games], they will be defining,” Prescott said last week, per Patrik Walker of DallasCowboys.com. “I don’t think there’s any ifs, ands, or buts about it. Knowing where we put ourselves, what we have to do, yeah, after these three games, we’ll either have given ourselves a good shot or put ourselves in a hole. I don’t think that’ll really be a discussion.”
“Understanding that for us to get into this postseason, what we have to do, and right now, sure, we control it,” Prescott added. “That means we have to win every game, and I like what CeeDee [Lamb] said. It’s like a playoff game, and whether it’s [head coach Brian Schottenheimer saying it’s [a 0-0 record], or however you want to think about it, all of these are must-wins. But we’ve got to take them one at a time.”
BREAKING: Controversial Colts vs. Chiefs Game Leads to Suspension of Four Referees
In a stunning turn of events following the Indianapolis Colts' heartbreaking 20–23 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12, the NFL has announced the suspension of four referees who officiated the game. The league’s investigation uncovered several significant errors made by the officiating crew that directly impacted the outcome of the game, leaving Colts fans and players questioning the fairness of the contest.
The game, played at the iconic Arrowhead Stadium on November 23, 2025, started with the Colts taking an 11-point lead into the final quarter. However, a series of controversial calls—or lack thereof—shifted the momentum in favor of the Chiefs, culminating in an overtime victory for Kansas City.
One of the most glaring missed calls occurred in the fourth quarter when Colts defensive back Julian Blackmon appeared to intercept a pass from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but the referees ruled it incomplete despite clear evidence to the contrary. The missed call allowed the Chiefs to maintain possession, eventually tying the game and pushing it into overtime.
Another pivotal moment came late in the third quarter when Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. was clearly held by Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed on a crucial third-down conversion attempt. The no-call allowed Kansas City to gain an advantageous position and eventually score the game-tying touchdown. Fans and players alike were outraged by the officiating crew’s failure to recognize these crucial penalties.
The NFL’s decision to suspend the four referees underscores the seriousness with which the league handles officiating issues. In an official statement, the NFL reiterated its commitment to fairness and accountability, stressing that these suspensions are part of an ongoing review process to uphold the integrity of the game.
For the Colts, the loss marks their fifth defeat of the season, dropping their record to 5–6. Despite the frustration, head coach Shane Steichen remains optimistic about his team’s resilience. "We’ll take this one on the chin and move forward. Our focus is on the next game, and we will continue to fight," Steichen stated.
As the NFL continues its investigation into the officiating crew, the Colts and their supporters await further updates, hoping for accountability and transparency in the handling of this controversial situation.
