Cowboys Outlast Seahawks in Shootout (41-35) for 4th Straight Win, Keep Pressure on Philly in NFC East Race

A critical NFC battle for playoff seeding was a welcome surprise on Thursday Night Football. A number of recent TNF games haven’t been worth the watch, but last night was a different story. The Cowboys and Seahawks dueled in a back-and-forth shootout that saw 76 points on the scoreboard. Both offenses were electric with wide receivers D.K. Metcalf (Seahawks) and CeeDee Lamb (Cowboys) making highlight plays all over the field. Metcalf hauled in three touchdowns, but Dak Prescott and Dallas scored 14 in the 4th quarter to earn the win. Dak hit TE Jake Ferguson for the go-ahead score inside four minutes (38-35) before tacking on a late field goal. Micah Parsons sealed the win with a QB pressure on 4th down for Seattle.

The Streaks: Dak and the ‘Boys have won four in a row since their loss in Philadelphia to open November. The ‘Hawks, on the other hand, have lost three straight.

Fun Fact: DaRon Bland notched his league-leading seventh interception of the season. He’s taken five back for touchdowns with an NFL record five pick-sixes. The all-time INT record for a single season is 14 (Night Train Lane, 1952).
