The Cowboys took down the Eagles on Sunday in a wild comeback win. Dak Prescott led Dallas’s offense to 24 straight points en route to a 24-21 upset victory over the reigning Super Bowl champs. In the immediate aftermath of the win, though, one highlight play stood above the rest—and it came on a punt.
With about five minutes left in the contest and the score even at 21, the Eagles forced the Cowboys to punt from midfield. Philadelphia returner Xavier Gipson unwisely chose to field the punt within his own five-yard line and wound up fumbling the ball; the Cowboys recovered in what was a huge swing in momentum. The fumble was forced by Dallas rookie Alijah Clark. Replay of the fumble showed Clark had to show some serious hustle to even get near Gipson, much less force the fumble, and the NFL world absolutely loved it.
