Dallas QB Dak Prescott has set a franchise season record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with his sixth, and the team’s tight end Jason Witten has passed former teammate Terrell Owens for seventh place on the career receptions list.
Prescott's 2-yard run on a quarterback draw broke Don Meredith's mark from 1966. The touchdown gave the Cowboys a 17-3 lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Prescott also had a 15-yard scramble on the 64-yard scoring drive in the second quarter. He set up his scoring run with a 21-yard throw on the run to Brice Butler at the 2.
Witten caught a 6-yard pass from Prescott early in the second quarter to pass Owens with his 1,079th catch. He had two more catches on that touchdown drive and finished the first half with eight catches for 47 yards, giving him 1,084 for his career.
The 34-year-old Witten, in his 14th season, is one of two NFL tight ends with at least 1,000 catches and 10,000 yards receiving. Tony Gonzalez is the other.
Owens spent three of his 15 seasons with the Cowboys.
Dallas headed into tonight's game off a loss to New York.
