When you are as large an underdog as the Dallas Cowboys were against the Pittsburgh Steelers, you can try anything and everything.
Mike McCarthy is doing just that against the undefeated AFC North leaders.
Check this play out on a punt return, which saw Cedrick Wilson throw a lateral across the field to C.J. Goodwin. The drive concluded in a TD that gave Dallas a 13-0 lead.
