Dak Prescott Made the Strangest NFL History in Cowboys' Week 5 Win Over Steelers

A memorable Week 5 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday was one play from being a night to forget for quarterback Dak Prescott.

The Cowboys' quarterback finished the night as the hero, leading a 15-play, 70-yard drive and throwing the game-winning touchdown pass on 4th-and-goal with 20 seconds remaining. But two red zone turnovers (one fumble, one interception) and a second interception nearly cost the Cowboys a victory.

Prescott also made unique NFL history during his up-and-down primetime performance. This was primarily thanks to an hour and 25-minute weather delay before kickoff, resulting in the game starting at 9:45 p.m. ET.

Prescott did something no player has ever done, and likely won't any time soon, during the Sunday Night Football victory. He became the first player in NFL history to throw a touchdown pass and an interception on two different days in the same game.

Prescott would obviously like to forget the interception aspect of that stat. But at least he'll remember the night as a victory and one capped off with a game-winning touchdown pass.

Prescott's two touchdown passes also came in crucial moments for the Cowboys. The first was early in the fourth quarter, giving Dallas the lead, and the second proved to be the game-winner with 20 seconds remaining.

The Cowboys signal-caller wrapped up the night by completing 29-of-42 passes for 352 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.
