The Cowboys’ offense has been struggling in recent weeks but it appears they heard the criticism. After an ugly first drive with two sacks and a circus play that failed on third down, cornerback Trevon Diggs ripped down interception No. 11 and it sparked an offensive explosion.
The first drive after the takeaway was quick and capped off by running back Ezekiel Elliott making a touchdown catch from quarterback Dak Prescott. After a quick defensive stop, the offense got back to work and Prescott was impressive. The franchise quarterback marched down the field and capped off a second-straight touchdown drive with a nine-yard pass to tight end Dalton Schultz.
.@Dak is DEALING.
