The Cowboys edged the Seahawks 41–35 in Dallas on Thursday night, thanks to a late touchdown pass from Dak Prescott. But it wasn’t exactly a banner night for the Cowboys’ defense (or the officiating).
The Seahawks amassed 406 total yards and went 9-for-14 on third down en route to scoring 35 points. However, Dallas got a needed late-game stop after Prescott’s touchdown pass to tight end Jake Ferguson, partly inspired by a fiery sideline challenge issued by the quarterback to the Cowboys’ defense.
“Turn me the f— up!” Prescott implored his defensive teammates, according to linebacker Micah Parsons. The Dallas linebacker said Prescott yelled at the team’s defense before the unit took the field with a 38–35 lead.
