In desperate need of a big play, down 21-3 in the second quarter to the Green Bay Packers, the Dallas Cowboys finally got on the board with a touchdown. Dez Bryant hauled in a perfect pass by Dak Prescott and ran it in the rest of the way on the 40-yard play.
PERFECT @Dak pass.

This happened right as much of Cowboys Nation was getting nervous and invoking the name of Tony Romo as a potential answer to prayer.
Needless to say, those calls for Romo were quelled at least for the time being, as the Cowboys made a game out of it, trailing 21-10 after the made extra point. Of course, it might not matter if Dallas’ defense can’t make some plays against Aaron Rodgers, who’s been unstoppable early in this game.
