With no playoff implications on the line for America’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys demonstrated their mental toughness by dominating the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, 42-21.
Dallas scored 28 unanswered points starting at the end of the second quarter to win the game by a wide margin. Although the Cowboys dynamic rookie duo of quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott both performed well, the game was more of a showcase for former All-Pro wide receiver Dez Bryant.
The seventh-year receiver not only scored two receiving touchdowns, but he also completed his first pass attempt for a score.
