A team can play poorly for most of the game, but if they get it done at the key moments, that’s all that matters. As ugly as it looked for most of the contest, the Cowboys were money when they had to be.
Dallas played their best football on defense with the goal line stand, while Prescott and the offense picked a perfect time to get it going on their game-winning 98-yard drive.
With 3:20 left on the clock and armed with three timeouts, the Cowboys were 98-long yards away from possibly winning the game. The path to tying it with a field goal was closer, but the Cowboys weren’t interested in going to overtime on the day.
On the winning drive, Prescott’s first pass was a perfect throw to Schultz for 21 yards to get out of the shadow of their own end zone and the offense went down the field with an 11-play, 98-yard scoring drive. Prescott was 5-6 for 79 yards and ran for 15 more on the possession. The only miss was the ball Gallup dropped in the end zone on second-and-goal.
Elliott punched it in on third down from the two-yard line, it was a short yardage score when the Cowboys had struggled to convert in that situation earlier in the game.
The Cowboys had issues for most of the game, but had no problems executing in the clucth.
