Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had a record night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In his fifth career playoff game, Prescott tied the Cowboys' single-game postseason record for passing touchdowns. The seventh-year pro threw for four touchdowns, and rushed for one, in Dallas' 31-14 wild-card game rout of Tom Brady and the Bucs on Monday.
Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach are the only other Cowboys quarterbacks to achieve the feat. Aikman threw for four touchdowns in Dallas' Super Bowl XXVII win over the Buffalo Bills while Staubach did so in an NFC Championship Game win over the Los Angeles Rams in the 1975 season.
