Dallas Cowboys: Top 6 moments of thrilling victory over the Patriots
Dallas Cowboys: 1. CeeDee walks it off, waves goodbye
After losing the coin toss to start overtime the Cowboys’ defense took the field first and forced a punt from the Patriots. The Cowboys started from their own 20-yard line needing a field goal to win.
As all good teams do you play for the touchdown in overtime and worry about the field goal later. Well, that is exactly what the Cowboys did. Prescott orchestrated a great drive and got Dallas down to New England’s 35 yard-line. Then this happened…

Great play call from Kellen Moore to get the Cowboys into play-action and allow Lamb to cross the field. Also, what a throw from Dak to hit Lamb in stride as he strutted into the end zone.
The only thing left to do for Lamb and the Cowboys was wave goodbye to the Patriots and their fans.
