The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a record-breaking fourth quarter against the Indianapolis Colts. The underdog Colts were only down 21-19 in the final quarter before Dallas went on a 33-0 run to end the game with a 54-19 win. The defense was opportunistic, causing four turnovers and scoring a touchdown of their own, while the offense did a great job of cashing in on their gifts from the defense.

They became the first team in 41 years to win their debut as an expansion team with a 19-10 win over these Dallas Cowboys.
