Winners and Losers: Cowboys run game overcomes officials, injuries in win over Steelers

After a lengthy rain and lightning delay, the Cowboys were able to churn out an ugly but hardfought victory over a Pittsburgh team that thrives in situations Dallas found themselves in Sunday night (or Monday morning depending on the time zone). Quarterback Dak Prescott was unbelievable despite tossing two interceptions, going 29 of 42 for 352 yards and two touchdowns after the game-winning pass. It may be easy to anoint him now but there are a few unsung heroes who deserve the winner tag as well.

Kudos to this no-name defense that held Pittsburgh to just 226 total yards on 57 snaps, a pedestrian four yards per play. This Dallas defense held the Steelers to just 3 of 12 on third-down conversions.

As with any game though, not everything was roses and sunshine. Like Prescott’s picks there were some moments and performances that could’ve been executed much better. Here’s the collection of winners and losers from Week 5.
