Prescott completed 22 of 26 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's game against the Browns. He added 20 rushing yards on four carries in the 35-10 win.
Though Cleveland scored first, Prescott led touchdown drives of 79, 69 and 67 yards to give his team a commanding lead heading into halftime. It was the rookie's third consecutive game with three total touchdowns and his TD:INT ratio now sits at a sparkling 12:2 through eight games in his young NFL career. Tony Romo (back) is nearing full health and participated in practice this week for the first time since suffering a back fracture in the preseason, but team executives have not indicated that he is ready to return to game action. Furthermore, Prescott's impressive play will make it even harder for them to make a switch once Romo is actually cleared for return. Week 10 will see the Cowboys travel to take on the Steelers at Heinz Field.
