Dak Prescott Quietly Sets NFL Record No Player Has Ever Touched After Breakout Win Over Raiders
Las Vegas, NV – In a turbulent 2025 NFL season for the Dallas Cowboys, Dak Prescott – the star quarterback of “America’s Team” – has just quietly broken an unprecedented record. After a convincing 33-16 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Week 11 Monday Night Football at Allegiant Stadium (November 18, 2025), Prescott not only ended a two-game losing streak but officially became the first player in NFL history to surpass 35,000 combined passing + rushing yards while recording at least 30 touchdown passes in seven consecutive seasons – a “hidden” record that even legends like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees have never achieved.
Context of the Explosive Win
The Cowboys entered the game at 3-6-1 with a slumping offense and enormous pressure coming off the bye week. But Prescott turned Allegiant Stadium into his personal stage: 4 touchdown passes, 0 interceptions, 298 passing yards, and an additional 42 rushing yards. He personally led four consecutive scoring drives, including a 37-yard TD to George Pickens and a 12-yard TD to Jake Ferguson on 4th down. From an early 0-3 deficit, the Cowboys finished with 33 points – their highest total in the last five games – and Prescott was the absolute soul of the comeback.
According to Pro Football Reference stats, after this game Prescott now owns 35,214 passing yards + 2,318 rushing yards (total over 37,500 offensive yards). Even more impressive: from 2018 to 2025, he has recorded 7 straight seasons with at least 30 total touchdowns (passing + rushing) – surpassing Aaron Rodgers’ previous record of 6 consecutive seasons and becoming the only player in NFL history to do this without ever having a season below 25 total TDs.
Impact and Legacy
Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer called it “a perfect performance from Dak – he is the heart of this football team.” The win improved the Cowboys to 4-5-1 and kept their NFC wild-card hopes alive (38% probability per Opta). Even with Raiders’ “monster” Maxx Crosby on the field, they couldn’t stop Prescott, who turned the NFL’s 31st-ranked defense in yards allowed into his personal playground.
This record is more than just numbers; it proves Prescott belongs in the true “dual-threat elite” category, combining accuracy (68.4% completion rate this season) with leadership in the toughest moments. With six games remaining, he is fully on pace to hit 40,000 total offensive yards by season’s end – another milestone no quarterback in NFL history has ever reached at age 32.
Dak Prescott isn’t loud, but that night in Las Vegas proved: he is rewriting history in his own quiet way.
