AIR & GROUND ATTACK:

Since entering the NFL in 2016, Dallas quarterback DAK PRESCOTT has recorded 15 games with both a passing touchdown and rushing touchdown, the most in the league over that span.

With both a passing and rushing touchdown on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants (8:15 PM ET, ESPN), Prescott would tie DAUNTE CULPEPPER (16 games) for the second-most games with both a passing and rushing touchdown in a player’s first four seasons in NFL history.

The players with the most games with both a passing and rushing touchdown in their first four seasons in NFL history:
