Dak Prescott and Jalen Tolbert lead the Dallas Cowboys past the Pittsburgh Steelers

Oct. 7 (UPI) — Dak Prescott overcame two interceptions and threw a crucial fourth-down touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert with 20 seconds left, leading the Dallas Cowboys to a narrow primetime victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Cowboys' quarterback totaled 352 yards and two scores in Sunday night's 20-17 win in Pittsburgh. Tolbert caught seven passes for 87 yards, including his game-winning 4-yard score.

“All I had to do was come through clean and make a play,” Tolbert told reporters. “That’s what great players do in big moments. When the ball comes your way and your team is counting on you, you make plays.”

The Cowboys outgained the Steelers by 445-226 total yards and had a 25-17 advantage in first downs and nearly five minutes in time of possession. They only stung once.

“We just know who we are,” Prescott said Football on Sunday evenings transmitted. “If we just stick with it, we can win. That was a great example.”

Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey hit a 55-yard field goal on the game's first drive. Steelers kicker Chris Boswell answered with a 41-yard attempt later in the first quarter. Aubrey made another 33-yard attempt in the second half, securing the only other points of the first half.

Quarterback Justin Fields connected with tight end Connor Heyward on a 16-yard touchdown pass on the first drive of the second half, giving the Steelers their first lead of the night.

They maintained that lead until Prescott threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to running back Rico Dowdle with 13:51 left, handing the lead back to the Cowboys. Less than three minutes later, Prescott threw an interception to Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr.

Fields led a 12-play, 63-yard touchdown drive. He ended the possession with a 6-yard touchdown pass to tight end Pat Freiermuth. That score and an extra point from Boswell gave the Steelers a 17-13 lead with less than five minutes left.

But Prescott recovered and used 14 plays to march the Cowboys from their own 30-yard line to the Steelers' 4-yard line, setting up the final score. He took his final shot from the shotgun formation, first looking straight ahead and then rotating his hips to the left.

He finished the game by firing a pass to Tolbert as he ran along the goal line toward the left pylon. The Cowboys wide receiver quickly made the catch before falling to the ground for the go-ahead shot.

The Cowboys' defense then once again outscored the Steelers' offense, ending the game with a fumble recovery by safety Jourdan Lewis.

Dowdle totaled 114 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 22 touchdowns for the Cowboys. Fields completed 15 of 27 passes for 131 yards and two scores for the Steelers.

Steelers running back Najee Harris gained 77 yards from scrimmage on 16 touches.

The Cowboys (3-2) host the Detroit Lions (3-1) on Sunday in Arlington, Texas. The Steelers (3-2) will face the Las Vegas Raiders (2-3) on Sunday in Las Vegas.
