Cowboys’ depleted defensive line stepped up in victory over the Steelers

The Cowboys leave Pittsburgh with a gutsy win on Sunday night (or Monday morning). The most memorable play of the game was the clutch game-winning touchdown on fourth down from Dak Prescott to Jalen Tolbert with 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter. That entire drive took a superhero performance from the QB and many other offensive players that stepped up to the plate. However, none of that would have even been possible if it weren’t for the defense making crucial stops throughout the game to keep the score close.

The Cowboys defense was able to hold Justin Fields and the Steelers offense to 226 total yards, keeping them under 100 rushing yards; the first time a team has done that all season.
