To all the NFL fans on the East Coast who made it to the end of this Cowboys-Steelers game…congratulations.

For those who aren’t crazy enough to stick around for this heavily delayed game, you missed the Dallas Cowboys (3-2) nearly imploding.

Instead, the Cowboys avoided a crisis and narrowly won 20:17 against Pittsburgh (3:2).

The game ended on Dallas’ final offensive drive, with a struggling Dak Prescott scoring a touchdown with Jalen Tolbert for a game-saving touchdown on fourth down.

Before Tolbert’s game-winning goal, the Dallas offense was in full swing, as was their top receiver, CeeDee Lamb.

Frustrated by his inability to produce all night, Lamb began to wear down his own quarterback.

Prescott threw an interception early in the third quarter with the intent of hitting his star receiver in the sequence. On the sideline, Lamb let his frustrations reach their peak and the franchise player let Prescott know about it.

It didn’t help that Lamb only had four receptions in three quarters (all in the first quarter).

Dak did his best to ignore the “needy” CeeDee during his tirade. The intense exchange between Lamb and Prescott caught the attention of the Sunday Night Football broadcast.

REGARD:

In a teachable moment, Lamb didn’t see much of Prescott until the game-winning drive, when Lamb got his first reception of the second half.

Lamb finished the game with five catches for 52 yards.

Expect to hear more about Lamb’s frustrations throughout the week.

Credit to Pittsburgh’s defense for giving the Cowboys offense hell all night long.

All the pressure from the Steel Curtain certainly contributed to the Cowboys’ tense sideline. Reigning Defensive Player of the Year TJ Watt made Sunday a game to remember by recording his 100th sack of his career.

NFL fans were treated to non-stop action in Week 5, from the early London game to the delayed SNF game. There is no such thing as too much football.
