The Dallas Cowboys returned to the field on Sunday afternoon for the team's final home game of the season, hosting the Los Angeles Chargers at AT&T Stadium.

During the high-scoring first half, star quarterback Dak Prescott earned another place in franchise history with an impressive feat.

Prescott eclipsed 4,000 passing yards in the second quarer, tying Tony Romo for the most 4,000 yard seasons in team history.

Prescott completed 11-of-15 passes for 98 yards and a touchdown to Ryan Flournoy with just under 10 minutes remaining in the first half, but the Cowboys trail the Chargers, 14-10.

Hopefully the offense will be able to keep pace with the Chargers' offense, with the defense once again struggling to get any stops.

Entering Sunday afternoon's game, Prescott had thrown for 3,931 yards, the second most in the league, 26 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions.

It will be interesting to see what the Cowboys decide to do with Prescott for the final stretch of the season, with the team officially eliminated from playoff contention, but if he finishes out the season, Prescott has a strong chance to end the season as the league's passing leader.
