Jets at Cowboys: Full highlights and final score
The Dallas Cowboys fell short once again on Saturday night, this time against the New York Jets.
Saturday night’s NFL game featured the Jets going into AT&T Stadium in Dallas, TX, to play the Dallas Cowboys. It came with the Jets playing for a playoff spot and the Cowboys just wanting to stay mathematically alive in the NFC East race.
Early on, we had a quarterback change for the Cowboys. Matt Cassel was struggling mightily, having thrown a terrible interception and taking a horrible sack. With no reason to wait anymore, this led to Kellen Moore coming in to take over. He eventually threw a touchdown pass, his first one since his college days at Boise State. There were a few ups and downs for him as well.
The game would come down to the final minutes. The Cowboys drove down the field after the Jets made the game 16-13 to hit a game-tying field goal. However, the Jets would follow this up with a big drive of their own to set up the game-clinching field goal. The final score was 19-13.
