WATCH: Dak Prescott finds Noah Brown for second touchdown to regain lead over Jaguars
After watching the Jaguars score 21 unanswered in the second half, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott capped a scoring drive with his second touchdown of the game to Noah Brown.
After Prescott threw an interception in the red zone that spurred a wave of momentum from the Jaguars, he took the Cowboys offense down the field on a 13-play drive that took seven minutes off of the clock.
After spinning out of pocket pressure, Prescott found Brown in the left corner of the endzone for a 13-yard touchdown. The Cowboys retook the lead to make it 34-31 with just three minutes remaining.
Noah Brown notched the first two-touchdown game of his six-year career with the fourth-quarter grab on Sunday. He has six catches on eight targets for 49 yards and two touchdowns. On the year, Brown has 40 receptions, 533 yards and three touchdowns.
Prescott is 23 of 29 for 256 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. The Jags also sacked the quarterback three times.

Ezekiel Elliott joins Cowboys great Emmitt Smith with TD streak
After punting on the first offensive series, the Dallas Cowboys drove down the field and capped a scoring drive with a 10-yard touchdown run by Ezekiel Elliott. The former first-round draft pick out of Ohio State notched the touchdown to make it 7-0 Dallas.
With the touchdown run, he became the first Cowboys rusher to have a rushing touchdown in seven consecutive games. The last player wearing the star to do so was legendary running back Emmitt Smith in 1995.
