Nothing has been easy for the Dallas Cowboys this season. A lot of this is down to their own “self-destructive ways,” but every now and then they remind us why they’ve been able to win 12 games in each of the last three seasons.

That was the case for them in the second half of their Week 9 showdown against the Atlanta Falcons.
Dallas was down 14-3 and needed a spark. They found one thanks to Dak Prescott and Rico Dowdle, a potential Play of the Year contender.

On 2nd-and-goal, Prescott escaped the pressure and bought himself time for what felt like an eternity. He found a wide-open Rico Dowdle, who threw the ball in the air but eventually caught it while lying on his back.

That score capped a nine-play, 70-yard drive that brought the Cowboys within four points.

It was Dowdle’s third touchdown of the year.
