In a thrilling Monday night matchup, Dak Prescott showcased his skills as he led the Dallas Cowboys to a 20-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite a rollercoaster performance that included both brilliant plays and mistakes, Prescott's late-game heroics secured the win for the Cowboys.

Trailing by four points with less than five minutes remaining, Prescott orchestrated a 70-yard drive that culminated in a game-winning touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert. Prescott's resilience and composure under pressure were on full display as he navigated the Cowboys to their third win of the season.

The Steelers, on the other hand, struggled to find their rhythm on offense throughout the game. Quarterback Justin Fields lamented the team's self-inflicted errors, including penalties and false starts, that hindered their performance. Despite a late attempt to regain the lead, the Steelers fell short as the Cowboys' defense held firm.

Rico Dowdle provided a much-needed spark to the Cowboys' rushing attack, amassing 87 yards on the ground and contributing a crucial touchdown reception. Prescott's connection with his receivers, coupled with Dowdle's impactful plays, proved to be the difference-maker in a closely contested game.
