The Cowboys didn’t allow their misfortunate string of plays to linger in their heads. Dallas, was able to stop the Seattle Seahawks thanks to Aldon Smith’s second sack of the first quarter, and trailing 7-3, the offense went right back to work.
QB Dak Prescott got a free play when former Cowboys DE Benson Mayowa came across early, and found rookie WR CeeDee Lamb over the middle for a smooth 28-yard gain.
Two plays later he found Amari Cooper for his own, beautiful, diving 28-yard play.

Unfortunately Week 2 hero Greg Zuerlein hit the upright on the extra point attempt, leaving the score tied 9-9 near the end of the first quarter.
