Newer update on Dak Prescott: Joe Milton signs with Eagles: QB depth before Week 6 vs. Panthers

Dak Prescott Leads Cowboys to Comeback Victory Over Texans

Dak Prescott threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb with 40 seconds left to secure a 34-30 win over the Texans.

By Cole Hartwell

Update: Corrected the final score to 34-30.

Dak Prescott led the Dallas Cowboys to a 34-30 comeback victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday. His 12-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb with 40 seconds remaining sealed the win.

What happened

Prescott completed 32 of 45 passes for 335 yards and one touchdown, adding seven rushing yards on two carries. The game-winning score capped a drive that erased a late deficit. Prescott described the matchup against Houston’s pass rush as “fun,” adding, “That’s what football is. I’ll never shy away from it. I’ll be a little sore, but I’m glad to be a little sore,” according to the Dallas Morning News.

Prescott had his right hand wrapped while speaking with reporters after the game. He said his hand was stepped on when pressured by Jadeveon Clowney midway through the second quarter, a play on which he was called for intentional grounding. Prescott said the hand is “perfectly fine,” adding, “just wrapped so it doesn’t get swollen… or more swollen,” via NFL Media.

Context

The victory was Prescott’s 85th regular-season win, tying Roger Staubach for second most in franchise history behind Troy Aikman’s 94. Prescott is in his 10th NFL season and has played every offensive snap for Dallas through three games. He entered Week 3 with 64.1 PPR points on the season, including seven passing touchdowns and one interception.

What’s next

Prescott and the Cowboys will look to build on the win as they continue their season. No update has been given on Prescott’s hand beyond his own postgame comments that it is “perfectly fine.”

🏈 Fantasy impact

Prescott’s 335-yard performance against Houston was solid, but his lone touchdown pass kept him from a top-tier fantasy day. The hand injury appears minor, but managers should monitor practice reports for any swelling or limitations. His rushing production remains minimal, so his value hinges on passing volume and touchdowns. With CeeDee Lamb as the clear top target, Prescott remains a mid-range QB1 in most formats. His Week 4 projection from Sleeper is 18.3 PPR points, which aligns with his typical output. Continue starting him in season-long leagues, and consider him a streaming option in DFS if the matchup is favorable.
