The Cowboys have had their fair share of red-zone woes in Gillette Stadium. The controversial goal-line fumble and the tip-drill interception froze two likely scoring drives for Dallas.
On the second drive of the second half for the Cowboys offense, Dallas executed a 91-yard drive where they faced just a single third down. Once in the red zone, quarterback Dak Prescott targeted wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and a defensive pass interference set the Cowboys up at the 1-yard line. A place that has haunted the Cowboys on Sunday.

Prescott went to Lamb for a second straight play with a perfect pass to the toe-dragging receiver. The score is the 2500th in Cowboys’ franchise history. Dallas now has their first lead of the game in Foxborough as the fourth quarter approaches.
