In a tough Pittsburgh road environment where inclement weather led to an extensive start time delay, the Dallas Cowboys already had plenty of adversity on their plate.
However, Dallas receiver Jalen Tolbert — who scored the game-winning touchdown on a fourth-and-goal play in the final minute — was apparently dealing with the most of anyone.
By far.
According to an NSFW explanation from Cowboys guard Tyler Smith in the postgame locker room, Tolbert had “[expletive] sprained his nuts” on a chaotic play right before his winning touchdown. Smith would quickly correct himself without the curse word while appreciating Tolbert’s mental toughness in a clutch situation.
Warning: NSFW language in the tweet below.

"Bro, it was miraculous. JT literally sprained his f—ing nuts – excuse me, sorry guys – sprained his nuts the play before. Then comes back, makes the game-winner. Unbelievable." pic.twitter.com/bquG5mCQrH

Your Dallas Cowboys, everyone! They beat [expletive] groin injuries and still win! Who would’ve thought? Not me.
