Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes to help the Dallas Cowboys defeat the Washington Commanders 37-20 on Sunday. Prescott’s fourth TD pass set a new franchise record with his 249th career touchdown, surpassing Tony Romo’s previous mark. The game was marred by an injury to Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels who dislocated his left elbow, similar to last season's injury. Daniels had shown promise before getting hurt, contributing both through passing and rushing for a total of 165 yards.

Story summary
On September 20, Washington Commanders faced an urgent challenge in their game against the Dallas Cowboys, both teams having suffered opening losses. The match at AT&T Stadium in ARLINGTON, Texas saw Dak Prescott break Tony Romo’s franchise record for touchdown passes by throwing four in a 37-20 victory over Washington. Commanders’ quarterback Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow again, mirroring an injury from last season that sidelined him for several games. X-rays on Daniels' elbow came back negative but the extent of the damage remains uncertain. The incident occurred when Daniels tripped and used his arm to brace himself during a play at halftime, leading coach Dan Quinn to replace him with backup Marcus Mariota for the remainder of the game. This recurring injury could significantly impact Washington's season as they now face another period without their star quarterback.
