The referees were bad, the team had a minus-two turnover margin, and All-Pro right guard left the game with an injury, but the Dallas Cowboys (8-5) preserved and eeked out a 29-23 victory in overtime to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, essentially securing the NFC East for the Cowboys.
After struggling to convert on its scoring opportunities in the first three quarters, Amari Cooper put the offense on his back, securing two touchdowns in the fourth quarter before hauling in the game-winning touchdown in overtime.
Dak Prescott had an inconsistent performance, as he lit up the Philadelphia secondary for 455 passing yards and three touchdowns on 54 throws (42 completions) but also had two frustrating interceptions that led to nine points for the Eagles.
