Dak Prescott breaks record in spectacular comeback from the Cowboys to the champion Eagles
The Cowboys' quarterback broke Tony Romo's record and led a 21-point comeback to defeat the champion Eagles 24-21.
Dak Prescott had an afternoon to remember. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback not only led a spectacular 21-point comeback against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he also claimed a legendary franchise record. With 34,192 passing yards, Prescott surpassed Tony Romo's 34,183, becoming the most prolific passer in team history. The Week 12 matchup had all the ingredients of a divisional classic. Philadelphia started strong: first with a reception by AJ Brown, then with a rushing touchdown by Jalen Hurts, and later with another touchdown by Hurts himself on the ground for a commanding 0-21 lead in the second quarter. Dallas responded before halftime with a touchdown pass to George Pickens, making the score 7-21. After the break, the defending champions' offense went cold, and the Cowboys capitalized on every opportunity. Prescott connected with Brevyn Spann-Ford to make it 14-21, and opened the fourth quarter with a touchdown run to tie the game at 21-21. The ending was dramatic. With time running out, Brandon Aubrey kicked a 42-yard field goal to complete the comeback and seal the 24-21 victory. Dallas remains second in the NFC East with a 5-5 record, while the Eagles continue to lead at 8-3. Sunday's games also produced other notable stories. Shedeur Sanders became the first quarterback in 26 years to win his first start for Cleveland, snapping a streak of 17 losses in debuts. In other results, the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Arizona Cardinals 27-24 in overtime thanks to three touchdown passes from Trevor Lawrence. The Atlanta Falcons defeated the New Orleans Saints 24-10. Earlier, the Chicago Bears upset the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-28, who were without Aaron Rodgers due to a left wrist injury. Other notable overtime victories included the Kansas City Chiefs' 23-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts and the Detroit Lions' 34-27 victory over the New York Giants. Week 12 began on Thursday with the Houston Texans' 23-19 victory over the Buffalo Bills and will conclude this Monday with the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers.
