Though it ultimately didn’t matter in the end as the Dallas Cowboys scored a few plays later to win the game on Sunday Night Football, the play that Pittsburgh Steelers’ linebacker Elandon Roberts made on 2nd and goal at the 1-yard line late in the fourth quarter nearly changed the game.
Roberts, who played 21 snaps (28%) on Sunday night, leapt over the line of scrimmage after getting a running start and destroyed Cowboys’ running back Rico Dowdle with a huge hit, getting his hat on the football and forcing a huge fumble.
While Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott recovered the fumble, giving the Cowboys another chance that they ultimately capitalized on, that play from Roberts was remarkable and shouldn’t be forgotten about.
