The Cowboys were able to get the ball back rather quickly in the second quarter and put together a bit of a drive. Ultimately it was undone by missed opportunities and, unfortunately, another potential penalty. Rookie left tackle Tyler Guyton exited as the team faced 3rd and 11. As the team came back Terence Steele false started which made a tough down even tougher. The Cowboys played for the field goal and got it to take the lead once more.
Pittsburgh got the ball back looking to score and even looked like they were going to after a fourth and short conversion near midfield; however, the Cowboys defense played with fight a lot of people thought they didn’t have and continued to hold strong while forcing another punt.
