It wasn’t pretty, but you don’t get style points in the NFL. Winning is all that matters, and the Cowboys got back in the win column Monday night with a hard fought 20-17 win over the Chargers. They now head into their bye having washed out the bad taste of that loss to the 49ers.
It was a sloppy game for both teams - 20 total penalties between the two, and countless more that weren’t enforced - and the Cowboys had several crucial errors in all three phases of the game, but they came out as winners.
