The Cowboys were in the perfect position. Micah Parsons, finally back on the field after an injury kept him out four games, strip sacked Jalen Hurts and rookie Marist Liufau recovered the ball at the Philadelphia six-yard line. An Ezekiel Elliott run cut the distance to paydirt in half, setting up second and goal.
Working out of the pistol, Cooper Rush faked a handoff to his left before rolling out right. A defender was coming up in his face, but Rush found CeeDee Lamb, who had sprung wide open in the back of the endzone. Rush tossed the ball to his star receiver, moments away from taking a 10-7 lead with just under two minutes left in the first half.
