Just recently, Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys got a big win in Week 5 over the Pittsburgh Steelers. This victory led sports analyst Skip Bayless, one of the franchise’s biggest fans, to lose his mind on social media.
In a thrilling showdown, the Cowboys edged out Pittsburgh with a score of 20-17 in a dramatic finish. The game, delayed by nearly 90 minutes due to severe weather, featured a slow start with no touchdowns in the first half. Dak Prescott struggled early, throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble, but found his rhythm when it mattered most.
As the fourth quarter began, the Cowboys trailed 10-6. However, Prescott connected with Rico Dowdle for a 22-yard touchdown, putting Dallas ahead 13-10. The Steelers briefly regained the lead with a touchdown from quarterback Justin Fields, making it 17-13. Yet, Prescott orchestrated a crucial 15-play, 70-yard drive, culminating in a four-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert with just 20 seconds remaining.
Despite a dominant performance statistically, with the Cowboys outgaining the Steelers 445 to 226 yards, self-inflicted mistakes nearly derailed their efforts. Dallas committed three turnovers and 11 penalties, but their defense held strong in the final moments, preventing a Steelers comeback.
