Despite multiple miscues, the Dallas Cowboys turned the game around in the final minute to secure a win against the Los Angeles Chargers on “Monday Night Football.”
After coming up short against the San Francisco 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys needed a win.
Their QB, Dak Prescott made the necessary play when it mattered. He has had 45 yards rushing in the first five games and 33 in the first half versus the Chargers.
Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had 84 receiving yards in the first half — more than he had in four of the first five games.
The Cowboys were without linebacker Leighton Vander Esch. Markquese Bell moved from safety to linebacker late in training camp after DeMarvion Overshown was lost for the year with a torn ACL.
Chargers’ QB Herbert was pressured on 42% of his dropbacks, his highest in any game this season (he had the fifth-lowest pressure rate at 25% entering the game).
He played through a fractured middle finger on his non-throwing hand.
The Chargers have struggled with running back plays. Outside of a 233-yard rushing performance in Week 1, the Chargers have rushed for over 100 yards just once this year and combined for just 91 yards in Weeks 2 and 3.
