Tying a Joe Montana mark, Cowboys' Dak Prescott playing at MVP level

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott's numbers are getting ridiculous now.

Even he had to take a pause when his name was connected to former San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Joe Montana after Sunday's 35-27 win against the Detroit Lions. When Prescott broke Roger Staubach's team record for rushing touchdowns (21) by a quarterback earlier this season, he recognized the Hall of Famer's greatness but shrugged off what the achievement meant to him.

The mention of Montana, however, elicited a different story.
