With the score knotted 17-17, the Cowboys’ recent history suggested that things didn’t look good as they embarked on a third-quarter possession starting from their own 27-yard-line.
As stated by CBS booth crew Kevin Harlan and Trent Green, Dallas had gone eight games without a third-quarter touchdown. Andy Dalton, CeeDee Lamb, and Dalton Schultz teamed up to wipe out that stat.
Dalton’s third-down scramble bought him enough time to find rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb streaking toward the sideline. The play netted forty-plus yards and bought Dallas a new set of downs.

Moments later, Dalton connected with tight end Dalton Schultz on a 12-yard touchdown pass.
What did Andy Dalton know about Dalton Schultz before joining Cowboys?
Andy: "I knew that his first name was my last name. That’s about it. … He’s really smart. He understands everything that we’re trying to do. Thankful that we’ve got a guy like that." https://t.co/WQoUH6ABRp
