For the second straight season, the Cowboys escaped a potential 0-2 start with a walk-off field goal to win a game against an AFC opponent. The Cowboys beat the Cincinnati Bengals 20-17 on Sunday. If last year’s loss to Tampa was almost expected for a team that went on to win the division though, week one for these current Cowboys created a frenzy that would be hard enough to recover from even if they had their starting quarterback.
The Cowboys won their second game in as many seasons with Cooper Rush leading a game-winning drive, drastically changing the outlook for a Cowboys team that starts NFC East play with another primetime game next Monday night at the Giants.
