Well, there you have it. The Cowboys rebounded from a terrible offensive performance and looked as good as they have all year en route to a 26-24 win. Here are the five plays that played the biggest part in the win.
Dak gets on the Swaim Train for 31 yards
After the Lions pinned the Cowboys at their own ten yard line to start the drive, Dallas’ first play call was a play action bootleg that saw Dak hit Geoff Swaim on the run, who took it up field for 31 yards.

This play set the tone for the entire drive, which later saw a huge pass to Michael Gallup that helped set up a Brett Maher field goal to draw first blood.
