Dak Prescott makes history as Cowboys complete epic comeback vs. Eagles

The Dallas Cowboys' 24-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles was the very definition of a game of two halves.

The first half was a horror show for Dallas, but in the second half, Brian Schottenheimer's team clicked into gear to record a stirring win and kept their season alive.

But while the win was superb for Cowboys Nation, there was also something that might have gotten lost in the wash -- Dak Prescott made history.

Needing just 160 passing yards to overtake Tony Romo as the franchise leader in passing yards, Dak produced 159 in the first half, and then got the record early in the first quarter with a pass to George Pickens.

Cowboys complete incredible comeback vs. Eagles

The Cowboys were at one stage, down 21-0 to the 8-2 Eagles, and with a late touchdown in the second quarter, closed the gap to 21-7.

Then the Cowboys' much-maligned defense, incredibly, per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, managed to go eight straight drives not allowing points, something that a few weeks ago was deemed impossible.

Now, the Cowboys, at 5-5-1, head into Thanksgiving against the Kansas City Chiefs with incredible momentum as their season remains alive.

But that comeback, folks...
