Cowboys on the brink of franchise history

December 1, 2016 at 4:38AM

Dallas' season superlatives

With a victory against the Vikings, the Cowboys would match the longest winning streak in franchise history (11 straight over 1968-69 regular seasons). With two more victories, they'd equal best start in club history (12-1 in 2007).

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is second behind Ben Roethlisberger (13 in row in 2004 for Steelers) for most consecutive wins by rookie. With one more 100-plus passer rating, Prescott can top Russell Wilson's rookie record (Seahawks in 2012) of nine straight games reaching that mark.

Running back Ezekiel Elliott needs one TD to tie Tony Dorsett (1977) and Herschel Walker (1986) for most rushing scores by a rookie in team history.
