Munich – In the Sunday Night Football Game the Dallas Cowboys won clearly 54:19 at home against the Indianapolis Colts. Dallas scored 33 of the 54 Cowboys points in the last quarter.

But the Colts opened the game with a field goal by Chase McLaughlin. The Cowboys then also registered a 20-yard touchdown from wide receiver CeDee Lamb. In return, Colts receiver Ashton Dulin scored a 14-yard touchdown to make the score 10-7 Indianapolis.

Cowboys counter before the break

During the second quarter, Dallas shooting star Tony Pollard made a 2-yard run into the end zone for a touchdown. After the two-minute warning, McLaughlin kicked the second field goal for the Colts, but the Cowboys countered before the break. Receiver Michael Gallup converted Dak Prescott’s 13-yard pass into a touchdown.

The third quarter was comparatively quiet. Only Colts receiver Alec Pierce scored a touchdown after Matt Ryan’s pass. This brought Indianapolis back to 19:21 – because the attempt at a two-point conversion was unsuccessful. It was still an open game at that point.

Five Cowboys touchdowns in the last quarter!

But in the fourth quarter, the Dallas Cowboys’ hour struck. Five! Touchdowns in the last quarter gave the Cowboys the victory.

First it was Gallup with his second touchdown. Then safety Malik Hooker scooped up a Colts fumble and returned it 38 yards for a touchdown against his ex-team – the two-point conversion didn’t work after that either.

Three Cowboys running backs score

With about ten minutes to go, Pollard got into the end zone for the second time on a 30-yard run – but Brett Maher’s kick was blocked. After that Pollard’s rival and star running back Ezekiel Elliott also delivered and scored a touchdown. Finally, Dallas’ third running back Malik Davis even found his way into the end zone.

The Cowboys now remain in second place in the NFC East with a record of 9-3. The Colts, meanwhile, have a record of 4-8-1, but are also in second place in the AFC South.
