WATCH: Gallup TD, scoop-and-score flip the script in Dallas

The Cowboys allowed the Colts to hang around, and the loss of cornerback Anthony Brown at least fort tonight looms large with Kelvin Joseph targeted on the touchdown that cut the lead to two. Through all the mediocrities, Dallas has made things work Sunday night.

Quarterback Dak Prescott made an ugly throw in Indianapolis territory, but the pass was inches from being intercepted and a Colts personal foul flipped the moment on its head. On a third down two plays later, Prescott found wide receiver CeeDee Lamb underneath, and he evaded a defender easily before trucking through one on the tail end at the 3-yard line. Wide receiver Michael Gallup did what he does best on the next play, making a 180-degree turn and grab for a touchdown.

Following the momentum shift, rookie linebacker Damone Clark made his mark on the game. Clark forced a fumble on the Colts first play of the drive and safety Malik Hooker was there in-waiting and took it back for a 38-yard touchdown.
