Dak Prescott Poised to Break Romo’s Completion Record Against Giants
Dak Prescott inches closer to a significant milestone as the Dallas Cowboys prepare for an NFC East showdown with the New York Giants this Sunday. The star quarterback has the opportunity to secure a prominent place in franchise history by surpassing Tony Romo’s long-standing record for career completions.
Chasing a Historic Mark
Entering Week 2, Prescott requires just 29 completed passes to eclipse Romo’s total of 2,829 completions with the Cowboys. As of the end of Week 1, Prescott stands at 2,801 completions, a testament to his efficiency and consistency since taking over the starting role in 2016.
Romo, who was once an undrafted free agent, achieved this mark over an 11-season career as a starter. In contrast, Prescott is on the verge of reaching this milestone in his tenth season. Over his career, Romo amassed 34,183 passing yards, along with 248 touchdown passes against 117 interceptions.
Recent Performance
In the Cowboys’ season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, Prescott completed 21 of 24 passes for 188 yards, though the team fell short, losing 24-20. As he heads into this critical matchup against the Giants, questions arise regarding his ability to reach the record.
Should the Cowboys adopt a more aggressive, pass-oriented strategy, Prescott could very well make history this weekend. However, he has averaged 22.8 completions per game throughout his career, suggesting that if he does not hit the mark against New York, he is likely to do so in Week 3 when the Cowboys face the Chicago Bears.
Upcoming Showdown
The Cowboys will host the Giants at AT&T Stadium on Sunday, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET, broadcast live on FOX. As the anticipation builds, all eyes will be on Prescott, not just for the game but for the chance to etch his name further into Cowboys lore. The stakes are high, and the quest for glory continues in this storied rivalry.
