Prescott throws three touchdown passes, Cowboys beat Packers

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Rookie Dak Prescott is stating an impressive case to remain the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.

He’s off to quite the start in his NFL career after taking over following veteran Tony Romo’s preseason back injury.

Prescott threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns, and the Cowboys forced four turnovers in a 30-16 win over the Green Bay Packers and their dysfunctional offense Sunday.

Prescott was 18-of-27 and shook off two fumbles and an interception to lead the Cowboys (5-1) to their fifth straight win.

His fourth-quarter touchdown pass left Packers fans at Lambeau stunned.

The four turnovers were a season high for Green Bay (3-2).
