On 2nd Thought: The Reason For This Cowboys Win

ARLINGTON, Texas – How different a week made. For the second straight Sunday, the Cowboys defense came to play against a really good quarterback.

Only this time, the offense pulled its weight, too. Add it up and the Cowboys were able to sneak away with a 20-17 win at the final buzzer.

Here’s a quick analysis from the Cowboys’ staff writers after the game:

Nick Eatman: Well, wrong again. But I’m sure you guys are happy for this one. In a way, I am as well, because we have to cover this team for the next four months and it’s certainly an easier ride when there’s hope. That’s what we saw today – a lot of hope for this season. Sure, it’s a last-second win in a game that wasn’t always pretty. But you know what was a thing of beauty? That final drive by Cooper Rush and this offense, especially when nothing had worked the entire second half. What I liked the most about this game – is the guys that have been given second and third chances, shined the brightest. Cooper Rush, Bßrett Maher and Noah Brown have a lot of trust from this organization. And after today, maybe from the fans as well. Really nice win for this team that needed more than we probably even realize.
