Mississippi State’s NFL alumni had a milestone night as Dak Prescott led Dallas past Philadelphia, setting Cowboys franchise marks for career wins and games with multiple touchdown passes. Elsewhere, Woody Marks led Houston in rushing for the second straight week, while former Bulldogs contributed across the league.

By the Numbers
  • Prescott threw for 212 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Dallas’ 38-21 win.
  • His 86th Cowboys win moved him past Roger Staubach; he is eight wins shy of Troy Aikman’s franchise record.
  • Prescott’s 80th career game with multiple touchdown passes set a Cowboys record, surpassing Tony Romo.
  • Marks rushed 19 times for 66 yards and has 271 rushing yards and two touchdowns this season.
  • Martin Emerson led former Bulldogs with five tackles; Jeffery Simmons recorded four.
Yes, But

Prescott’s record-setting performance came in a Dallas win, but several other Bulldogs had tougher weeks: Houston, Cleveland and Tennessee lost, while some former Mississippi State players were inactive or sidelined.

State of Play
  • Marks has led Houston in rushing in consecutive weeks.
  • Elgton Jenkins started at center for Cleveland and played all 70 offensive snaps.
  • Charles Cross left Seattle’s win late with an ankle injury.
Bottom Line

Prescott’s historic night headlined the week, while Marks’ growing role and steady contributions from Bulldogs across the league kept Mississippi State’s NFL presence prominent.
