ARLINGTON, Texas — If NFL fans were looking for an ugly win on Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys made sure to deliver.
The Cowboys, whom Vegas projected as 17.5-point favorites per BetMGM, trailed the Houston Texas for more than 29 of the 30 minutes after halftime. Then, after a turnover-laden day, quarterback Dak Prescott directed a clinical 11-play, 98-yard drive to set up running back Ezekiel Elliott’s 2-yard touchdown with 41 seconds left and escape with a 27-23 victory.
It’s fair to ask where that rhythmic Cowboys offense was for almost the entirety of Sunday’s near-debacle.
