Good, Bad & Ugly: Tony Pollard, defense shine for Cowboys in 41-33 win

Tony Pollard and the defense forcing four turnovers highlights most of the good things the team did to beat the San Francisco 49ers

The Dallas Cowboys are living life on the edge, hanging on by a thread in the race for the NFC East. They kept their hopes alive with a thrilling Week 15 win, 41-33, over the San Francisco 49ers.

It was one of the more spirited efforts from the Dallas defense, despite giving up 33 points and over 450 yards of total offense. Just a week after forcing three turnovers, the Cowboys took the ball away four more times in the win to escape the division basement.

Here is the good, the bad and the ugly for the Cowboys as they fight their way to a fifth win on the year.

The Dallas Cowboys defense is playing out of their mind a little more than a quarter through the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. First, they went an entire quarter without allowing a point. They then stuffed a fourth-down play to take possession of the ball early in the second quarter.

After receiving possession, Garrett Gilbert went to work, escaping a surefire sack and running for a first down. See for yourself:

 

Gilbert now has career highs in both passing and rushing yards as well as touchdowns. That was Lamb’s third touchdown on the year but his first since Week 4. The Cowboys lead 10-0 with just under eight minutes left to play in the first half.
