The offense didn't dominate the Lions, but they capitalized scoring 21 points off turnovers.

Prescott finished with a 113.3 passer rating, and he threw his first touchdown pass this season. The Cowboys improved to 5-2.

First TD pass of the year for @dak goes to Peyton Hendershot for #NationalTightEndsDay!!!
