#STATEtoSundays: Week 11 Update
November 18, 2025 | Football
Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes in Dallas' 33-16 victory at Las Vegas on Monday Night Football.
It was the 13th-career game in which Prescott has thrown four or more TDs, which is the most in Cowboys' history and the seventh-most by a quarterback in the NFL's annals during their first 10 seasons. The former Mississippi State standout now has 41 career games of at least three touchdown tosses, which moves him past Tony Romo for the most in franchise history.
Prescott connected on 25 of 33 passes for 268 yards and no interceptions against the Raiders. Pro Football Focus (PFF) ranks him third among NFL quarterbacks in overall offensive grade for the season at 87.2 and fourth in passing with a grade of 85.8. He also ranks fifth in the league with 2,587 passing yards.
Perennial Pro Bowlers Chris Jones and Jeffery Simmons both secured sacks during Week 11. Jones added two tackles and two quarterback hurries for Kansas City, earning the top pressure grade on the team 73.9 and also tops that category for the season at 82.5.
Simmons stacked up three tackles and a hurry for Tennessee. He topped the Titans with an 89.5 defensive grade and an 87.9 run defensive score this past Sunday. The Macon native leads all interior defenders in the NFL with a 90.9 pressure grade and ranks second at his position with an 88.8 overall defensive grade.
Preston Smith recorded a pair of solo stops including one for loss during Washington's overtime loss to Miami in Madrid, Spain.
Charles Cross started at left tackle and logged all 84 offensive snaps for Seattle in Week 11. Cross ranks first in pass blocking on the Seahawks roster this year at 82.0, which ranks seventh among all offensive tackles in the league.
