I don't care what anyone thinks. When the Cowboys nail a 40-Burger, I'm going update my list on Notepad and share it with you for your enjoyment.

Of course, this 70th 40-Burger was special. Even though I don't believe Dak played his best game (still fantastic none-the-less), the Cowboys laid the hammer down on Washington after the Commanders failed several 4th and 1s. This was topped off by one the most memorable moments in Dallas' Thanksgiving game history. This almost 60-year old went nuts when Deron Bland returned that historic interception.

@Manster68 Nice list. I was searching a little on the internet to see if I could find other teams highest scoring games for comparison. No luck, but will continue to look.

Technically, the title should be 40+ burgers. Don’t 50 Burgers deserve their own tier and pedestal? I count about 8 50-burgers.

Yes, but they are still 40-Burgers. They happen more often than half a hundred.

It is. Especially when you see how low it as earlier in Dak's career...
Early in his career, they seemed to protect him. Leaned on the run game heavily. Ball control and move down the field at a slower pace to chew up clock. The last 3 or so years, they seemed to flip the script and let it rip through the air. Really when he came back from that 2020 season ending injury it kind of changed. Probably due to Zeke starting to wear down and the inability to control the game on the ground.

It changed the year he was up for contract....was it 2019? Whatever season where he started off racking up 300 yard games.
