It was all for not, especially with how the game ultimately ended. The Dallas Cowboys scored a single touchdown during the drubbing that the New Orleans Saints gave them on Sunday afternoon, but it was a notable one.

Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, the newly-paid men, connected and provided hope that would ultimately dissipate.

Maybe you didn’t actually believe that this was going to serve as the catalyst for the Cowboys in that moment, but it did narrow the margin to one that could have turned it into a game had the defense cooperated. Thankfully we are not here to discuss the game, but where the touchdown moved these two in franchise history.

You see the Cowboys began this season with Prescott and Lamb sitting in a tie for seventh place in franchise history as a duo as far as touchdowns between passers and receivers. The score was their 28th together which gives them seventh place all to themselves.

Given that Lamb and Prescott both got contract extensions, it stands to reason that they will continue to rise up this page within the record books and maybe sit atop it when they are all said and done.

With the duo now sitting on 28 it is conceivable that they could grab 10 more across the 15 games remaining on the season, but anything beyond that feels a bit too much for the 2024 season specifically. It makes sense that they will finish this year somewhere between third and fifth, but obviously there is a lot of football to go to prove that to be the case.
