It has been an explosive first half in Big D, as the Seattle Seahawks are locked in a shootout with the Cowboys. So far through two quarters, the Seahawks trail Dallas 20-XX.
The Cowboys took the opening drive 63 yards in 14 plays, but failed to capitalize with a touchdown. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks sacked quarterback Dak Prescott to hold Dallas to a field goal for an early 3-0 lead.
But Seattle responded in a major way, when Geno Smith found DK Metcalf on third down.

This touchdown to give Seattle the lead also meant the first time the Cowboys have trailed at home all season long. Unfortunately, it did not last long, as Dallas retook the lead the next possession – thanks to more questionable officiating.
The Seahawks almost responded, but Jason Myers missed a 42-yard field goal – his third straight game with a miss. The Cowboys then scored a touchdown on their next drive to go up 17-7. However, Seattle showed they aren’t going anywhere tonight, scoring a touchdown on their ensuing drive.

For weeks now, the Seahawks offense has been sputtering. But against the Cowboys, it’s the defense that can’t seem to figure anything out. Dallas scored on all 4 of their possessions, including two-straight touchdown drives.
However, the Seahawks were able to take a lead right before the half thanks to DK Metcalf’s second touchdown.
