Cowboys 27, Colts 23: Javonte Williams Scores the Winner With 1:08 Left
Dallas trailed with 97 seconds to play after Spencer Shrader's 50-yard field goal put Indianapolis in front. Dak Prescott needed 29 seconds to flip the game: a 46-yard strike to Ryan Flournoy, two Colts penalties, and Williams' 1-yard touchdown — then Caleb Downs intercepted Daniel Jones to close it.
INDIANAPOLIS — The Dallas Cowboys were a minute and a half from a second straight fourth-quarter collapse. Instead, they left Lucas Oil Stadium with a 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 1:08 remaining and intercepting Daniel Jones on the Colts' last possession to seal it.
Indianapolis had taken its first lead of the closing stretch the hard way. Spencer Shrader tied the game at 20 with a career-long 59-yard field goal with 5:56 to go, then drilled a 50-yarder with 1:37 to play for a 23-20 Colts lead. Dallas answered in 29 seconds: Dak Prescott hit Ryan Flournoy for 46 yards, two Indianapolis penalties moved the ball to the 1, and Javonte Williams — who finished with 101 rushing yards — scored from a yard out, the Associated Press reported.
Prescott finished with 335 passing yards and two touchdowns, and CeeDee Lamb caught 10 passes for 195 yards and a score, Reuters reported. The Cowboys outgained Indianapolis 508 yards to 271 but kept the game close with self-inflicted damage — 14 penalties for 153 yards — before rookie safety Caleb Downs intercepted Jones with 35 seconds left, the decisive defensive play of the afternoon.
The win, Prescott's 20th career game-winning drive, moved Dallas to 4-5 a week after it blew a 14-point lead and lost in overtime to Arizona, Cowboys Wire reported. Indianapolis fell to 2-7 with its fifth consecutive loss. For Texas viewers, it was the state's most-searched game of the day — and, for once this season, a Dallas finish that held.
