Cowboys

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

Dallas opened with D.Prescott getting strip-sacked by M.Crosby at the 9, and the night could have spiraled — instead M.Bell's interception of G.Smith flipped the field, and touchdown throws to C.Lamb and J.Ferguson turned a shaky start into a 33-16 result that felt larger than the box score. The win arrived under the weight of a teammate's absence, which made the cheering quieter than the scoreline suggests.
