It’s better to be lucky than good, the old saying goes. But being both is best of all, and that’s what the Cowboys were on Sunday. Their 23-point win over the Rams provided plenty of splashy big-play highlights— on offense, defense, and special teams — with the team’s top playmakers delivering the kinds of performances that fans have been waiting for. With Philadelphia on deck in Week 9, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.
But the Cowboys’ 11th-straight home win was also defined largely by a few seemingly small moments. It was an easily-overlooked penalty flag that gave Dak Prescott a second chance at his first drive of the day, and it was an arguably meaningless two-point play that snuffed out any hope of the visitors climbing back into things in the second half.
A mix of both the big and the small, here are the four plays that told the tale in Dallas’s 43-20 victory to complete the L.A. sweep.
