Cowboys Shootout! Dak Prescott Leads Dallas Over Seattle Seahawks 41-35 In 'TNF' Thriller

ARLINGTON - Throughout the season, the Dallas Cowboys have been unbeatable at AT&T Stadium with a perfect 5-0 record, and all of those wins coming by at least three scores.

That was not the case for Thursday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks, though. Instead of a Cowboys lopsided decision, this game was a back-and-forth affair that ended up turning into an offensive showcase for both teams. In the end, Dallas was able to extend its home winning streak to 14 games with a 41-35 come-from-behind win.

You might've wanted a blowout. Instead, you got a shootout.

After the Cowboys went up 17-7 early in the second quarter, it seemed as if they were in control. However, the Seahawks outscored the Cowboys 14-3 for the rest of the quarter, then added a touchdown on their first drive of the second half to jump out to a sudden eight-point lead.

It took a while, but Dallas roared back to life later in the half, scoring the final 14 points of the game for a comeback victory. Jake Ferguson proved to be the hero, hauling in a 12-yard pass from Dak Prescott to score the go-ahead touchdown with less than five minutes to go, with Brandon Aubrey adding a field goal for insurance.

Prescott kept his recent hot streak going in this game, completing 29 of 41 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns. CeeDee Lamb had 12 receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown, with Ferguson and Brandin Cooks finding the end zone as well. Tony Pollard crushed 20 times for 68 yards and a touchdown, his third straight game finding the end zone after not doing so since Week 1.

On the other side, Geno Smith completed 21 of 36 passes for 309 yards, three touchdowns and an interception to DaRon Bland, who had an otherwise difficult game. D.K. Metcalf was all over the field, catching six passes for 134 yards and three touchdowns.

This win marks the first time Dallas has beaten a team at or above .500 for the first time this season. With a grudge match against the Philadelphia Eagles coming up on Dec. 10, getting that monkey off the back should do the Cowboys a world of good.
