The Dallas Cowboys kept their NFC East - and No. 1 seed - hopes alive with their big victory over the Titans in Tennessee on Thursday night.
In a thrilling 31-17 win, quarterback Dak Prescott threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, leading the Cowboys to a much-needed victory that keeps them in a tie atop the division with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The game was close throughout, as neither team was able to gain much separation until Prescott scored on a four-yard run midway through the fourth quarter to give the Cowboys a 24-17 lead. Dallas would add an insurance touchdown late in the game to put it away.
Prescott finished with 243 yards passing and was efficient, completing 21 of 27 attempts while avoiding any turnovers. Running back Ezekiel Elliott also had a strong performance, rushing for 122 yards and a score on 23 carries.
The win was especially important for Dallas given that they have been struggling recently after winning five straight games earlier in the season. With only three games remaining, they will need every win they can get if they want to secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
