When picking the plays that defined the Cowboys’ 28-23 loss to Philadelphia in Week 9, there are the obvious choices. Luke Schoonmaker not getting into the end zone on his 1-yard catch. Dak Prescott stepping out of bounds on his 2-point conversion. The final play in which no one was following CeeDee Lamb toward the end zone to receive a last-gasp lateral.
But a final score in the NFL almost always comes down to more than just a handful of larger-than-life plays. It’s all the countless little things, tiny details, seemingly inconsequential moments along the way that lead up to those gotta-have-it highlights.
For this edition of 4 Downs, we’ll bypass the no-brainers on which the game very visibly shifted and instead dive into four lesser plays that just as importantly swung the momentum in what ended up being a rollercoaster clash of NFC East rivals.
