Cowboys slip by Steelers with huge nights from Dak Prescott, Jalen Tolbert on Sunday Night Football

The Dallas Cowboys pulled out a gut-check win in Pittsburgh over the Steelers, and it was Dak Prescott leading the Cowboys on a game-winning drive that culminated with a fourth-down, four-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert with 20 seconds left to get Dallas the win. Prescott threw for 355 yards and two touchdown passes, but he also threw two interceptions and fumbled the ball away to the Steelers in the red zone.

In addition to taking the ball away three times, Pittsburgh also blocked a field goal, but the Pittsburgh offense’s struggles were front and center in the loss. Dallas out-gained Pittsburgh 445 to 233, and the Steelers were just 3-for-12 on third downs in the game. Those struggles are sure to reignite the fire surrounding the Steelers’ quarterback position, with Russell Wilson telling NBC Sports before Sunday Night Football that he’d be ready to go for the Steelers’ game next week at the Raiders.



Both teams are 3-2 after Sunday’s game, and in Week 6, Dallas hosts Detroit, with the Steelers headed to Las Vegas.
