    Dak Prescott is having one of his best seasons so far as the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys -- and he's setting some records while doing it.

    The signal-caller has started his 10th season looking like one of the top at his position in the entire league. In Sunday night's matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Prescott set the record for the most all-time completions in Cowboys history: he has now recorded an impressive 2,901 completions in his professional career.

    The new record passed franchise legend Troy Aikman's previous record of 2,898 that was set across 12 seasons in Dallas. Meanwhile, Prescott still has 13 games left to be played this year alone, and who knows how many seasons from there. 

    While Prescott would have likely reached the milestone at some point this season, his big outing in the Cowboys 40-40 overtime tie with the Packers certainly sped things up a bit. Prescott went 31-for-40 passing for 319 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, and he added a short rushing score in the second quarter.

    Those numbers were good enough for an additional accolade for the veteran: Prescott became just the ninth player in NFL history to throw 40 passes, complete more than 75% of his passes, and record three passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. Other notable names on that list includes Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes and Kirk Cousins.

    The difference between Prescott and those other signal-callers? He's the only one who did all of that and still didn't come away with a victory -- to no fault of his own. It's easy to imagine that he'd trade all of his recent accolades away for a team win. 

    Could this be the year that Prescott really rises to the top? He's had some great seasons through the years, and if it continues at this rate, this year could be another one. Through Week 4, he leads the NFL with 1,119 passing yards and is in fourth place with a quarterback rating of 74.2. While he looks sharp so far, Dallas' defense is really limiting the team; there's a good chance that no matter how well Prescott does, it's not going to be enough to get the franchise into the playoffs.

    For now, Prescott continues to set himself apart as one of the best signal-callers to ever play for the Cowboys in terms of metrics. A Super Bowl victory would obviously put him among the franchise's elite across the board... he's just going to need some help with that.
