    Recap of Dallas’ win on Sunday night

    The Dallas Cowboys earned a tough win against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night thanks to a clutch pass from Dak Prescott.

    Prescott threw his second touchdown of the day with 20 seconds left to give the Cowboys a 20–17 win. Prescott accounted for three turnovers (two interceptions and a fumble), but saved the day with 352 yards and two touchdowns.

    Running back Rico Dowdle also added 87 yards on 20 carries. Steelers quarterback Justin Fields finished 15-for-27 for 131 yards and two passing touchdowns. He also had 27 yards rushing.

    After the first half, it felt like the Cowboys should have led by more than three. Prescott and Co. have moved the ball well through the first two quarters, totaling 202 yards. Prescott went 15-for-20 for 188 passing yards, but the story that emerges from the first half is his clumsy and inexcusable interception that ended two promising possessions for Dallas.

    WATCH THE COWBOYS WITH A FREE TRIAL OF FUBO

    The Cowboys defense held strong and held the Steelers to 89 yards and three points despite coming into the game with several injuries to key players.

    Here are all the scores on Sunday Night Football:

    Cowboys vs. Steelers

    With three timeouts and needing a touchdown to take the lead, Prescott and the Cowboys offense drove down the field for a 15-play, 70-yard go-ahead run. On fourth and goal from the four-yard line, Prescott found Jalen Tolbert to give them a three-point lead in the final seconds of the game.

    Aided by timely conversions on third and fourth down and costly penalties from the Cowboys, the Steelers converted a 12-play, 63-yard drive into a go-ahead touchdown from Fields to outscore tight end Pat Freiermuth, 17-13.

    The Cowboys went three quarters without finding the end zone, but on the second play of the fourth, they cashed in their first touchdown of the game to regain the lead. From Prescott to running back Rico Dowdle from 22 yards out, Dallas completed a 16-play, 90-yard drive to go up 13-10.

    The Steelers started the second half with the football and came out firing to take their first lead of the night. After quarterback Justin Fields took a big hit that forced him to be checked out for a concussion, Pittsburgh continued to orchestrate a six-play, 72-yard drive that ended with Fields hitting tight end Connor Heyward for a 16-yard touchdown pass to go up to go. 10-6.

    A sloppy half of football in which Dak Prescott turned the football over twice in plus territory goes into the break with Dallas holding a slim three-point lead. The Cowboys defense kept its end of the bargain by holding the Steelers to three points.

    It was a defensive battle for both teams tonight, with few goals or big plays to speak of. However, the Cowboys pushed a second-quarter possession deep into Steelers territory before settling for a 33-yard field goal by Aubrey to take a 6–3 lead.

    After watching the Cowboys put together a methodical push for a lead, the Steelers answer back with three points of their own. Pittsburgh’s drive lasted 11 plays and 52 yards before kicker Chris Boswell hit the 41-yard field goal to tie the game.

    It was clear that Dallas was trying to get the ball out quickly to neutralize TJ Watt and the rest of the Steelers’ pass rush, allowing them to find some opening possession rhythm. Ultimately, the drive stalled and the Cowboys settled for a 55-yard field goal by Brandon Aubrey to take a 3–0 lead.

    Cowboys vs. Steelers Predictions

    ESPN: Seven of ESPN’s 11 panel experts pick the Cowboys to upset in primetime. Despite injuries and the uncertainty surrounding Dallas, some believe they have enough talent to prevail in the Week 5 matchup.

    USA today: USA Today’s experts are less convinced that Dallas can overcome their challenges, as only two of the six picks favored the Cowboys.

    Tony Catalina, Austin American statesman: There seems to be a lot going against the Cowboys heading into Week 6. With many impactful injuries and a rough start to the season, feelings around Dallas aren’t too positive. That said, the Cowboys find a way to rise to the occasion in the regular season when their backs are against the wall. While it may be ugly, Dallas will find a way to win on Sunday Night Football. 27-23.
