The Dallas Cowboys felt for a while that they could pull off the upset victory over the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, and really, they came rather close to doing it. They had the opportunity to execute a game-winning drive, twice. The final play of the game was a shot into the end zone that would have given them the win, but Minkah Fitzpatrick batted it down.
Their defense didn’t do them any favors by drawing four penalties across two fourth-quarter drives that allowed them to turn a four-point deficit into a five-point lead with just a little over two minutes to play.
