WATCH: Cowboys’ Goodwin pulls rope-a-dope, trick ST return gets big yards

A big punt return for the Dallas Cowboys leads to another field goal and a 13-point lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Dallas Cowboys coaching staff has taken it’s lumps this season. But credit’s got to be given where it’s due, and John “Bones” Fassel pulled a rabbit out of his hat, calling for a throw across the field on a punt return that nearly resulted in a touchdown.

Cedrick Wilson was set to return deep, snatching the ball inside his own 10-yard-line before throwing the width of the field to C.J. Goodwin, who pretended his hamstring was hurt on the way down the field. Earlier in this space it had been insinuated that the team had reached the bottom of the barrel for captains. Both Wilson and Goodwin are captains for today’s game.

Unfortunately, a block in the back call put them outside of the red zone and the drive ended shortly after on an Amari Cooper catch in which he got tripped up by the turf monster. Greg Zuerlein’s second field goal of the game gave the Cowboys a 13-0 lead, their biggest of the season.
