Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott led his team to a victory against the Washington Commander, and said he hopes he isn't done for the year.

The Cowboys made the key plays to beat the Washington Commanders in Week 17, going 6-of-6 on fourth down tries.

The Cowboys’ perfect fourth-down efficiency vs. the Commanders helped Dallas to a 30-23 win and made NFL history.

The Commanders were unable to do much of anything in their first possession and wound up punting so Dallas took over with a 14-point lead at their back. George Pickens seemed to move the chains, but he was called for offensive pass interference and the Cowboys were unable to move them after the penalty.
