He probably saved that game for us last night.

He was the guy that knocked the ball out on that punt return and recovered it as well.


At first glance I thought the guy was down and on instant replay I also thought they could've ruled it like the Zeke fumble and said the Vikings player recovered it first and we took away after he got it back.

I just noticed something on that TD by Dez...


To me... It looks like a lateral.

Imagine if the DE had hit that or Dez wouldn't have been able to hold onto that.

Was the Dez TD pass a called run play and a sight adjustment by Dak and Dez? If so, I'm highly impressed.

Huge play by Kyle. Sign of a great team is finding ways to win in all 3 phases. He had the tri-fecta.... tackle, strip and great recovery... fantastic play. This was a game where we could have started to point fingers, get frustrated with calls and start to hang our heads a little... I'm so impressed with the resolve and mental toughness of this team.

Looks like one of those run pass options where they call run but Dez runs the route if Dak see's something he likes.

To me it just proves more of what I've always said about Dez... Just get the ball in his hands because he's dangerous as a RAC guy.

Dez is just such a "baller" man. Guy plays in a run first offense and doesn't get the stats but he's a helluva playmaker. I love the way he bounced up and almost scored on that deep pass fighting for every inch... If you saw the post game interview NFLN.. the guy just wants to win. ..

All for one and one for all. Saw someone come out with the ball after the play, didn't realize it was a recovery. Great job by Dallas coaches forcing the review, and winning it....

Also has great hands, as a couple of those catches were rebounders where he bobbled a little and then snatched it.

I for one thought he may have actually scored on the long pass. Surprised their wasn't a better look at that one to show that he had been touched to cause his falling to the ground and spotting the ball where it ended up.

Dez is a great playmaker.

And last night he tied the Playmaker for career TDs.

He's got the Cowboys franchise record in his sight now.

Indeed. He IS a great "team 1st" guy. Other receivers with similar skill sets let their physical gifts and talents turn them into divas who NEED the ball and get pouty when they don't get their touches.

Dez knows this is the most run heavy offense in modern football....and he knows that there's other playmakers and weapons on the offense too. Dude just wants to win, genuinely. You can tell he's a competitor who hates to lose.

I'm sure Rhodes was as shocked as everyone in TV-land. I was about to throw-up that we were on the 1 yard line and looking to throw the freakin' fade to Dez instead of pounding it in. Rhodes had to be playing 10 yards off because the only play he'd seen on film was Dez running that stupid fade every time down there. At least now, teams have something else to think about, but I'm still awaiting the slant as well.

Yeah but I wanted to strangle him when he was running after that Vikes punt that went backwards and Whitehead was screaming for people to get out of the way.

I still think we should use him, Wilbur, as a RDE in passing situations.

For all the things that went wrong in this game, there were some things that went right.

We got one of those funky plays that usually goes against us, that went our way on the punt fumble recovery...then we got the TD and not a FG.
Last year no way we get that call.

We got away with that face mask at the end, but they got away with one earlier. However, I can see where the ref could have missed it. But still on the 2 other games, how the heck diid the face maskd on Beasley get missed.
