The Dallas Cowboys are firing on all cylinders in Week 17, with a surprise onside kick recovery adding another highlight to their strong first half performance. 


Surprise!

Already leading the Washington Redskins by 13 points, the Dallas Cowboys went for the jugular early with a surprise onside kick in the second quarter. Safety Barry Church came up with the recovery for Dallas, who has controled more than 16 minutes of possession through a quarter and a half.

The onside kick attempt came following a 32-yard field goal from Dan Bailey that put the Cowboys up, 20-7.

After recovering the onside kick, Dallas drove down the field and capped off another scoring drive with a rushing touchdown from DeMarco Murray, who currently has 77 yards and the score on 12 carries.
