Steelers lose heartbreaker to Cowboys on final play of game

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys squared off on Sunday night in a battle of two of the most popular teams in the league. It was a game that the Cowboys dominated in the boxscore but up until the final seconds, the Steelers held onto a lead. But on the final play of the game. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott connected with wide receiver Jalen Tolbert to pull off the 20-17 win in the final seconds.

This loss drops the Steelers to 3-2 on the season and puts Pittsburgh in a tie for the top spot in the AFC North with the Baltimore Ravens.

Offensively, the Steelers struggled to find any consistency on the ground which hindered any opportunity for quarterback Justin Fields to find any rhythm in the passing game.

Defensively, the Steelers were scorched by Prescott to the tune of 352 yards passing. The Steelers lost edge rusher Nick Herbig in the first half and failed to generate any sort of pass rush other than T.J. Watt, allowing Prescott to march down the field for the game-winning score.

The Steelers have lost two in a row and now have to prepare for a long road trip out west next week against the Las Vegas Raiders.
