Dak Prescott and the Cowboys overcome a second quarter of miscues and mistakes to defeat the Titans, 27-13.

Prescott's first completion of the series was a strike to Hilton, who turned up-field to pick up a total of 28 yards. Despite the line shuffling, Dallas didn't skip a beat, completing a 10-play, 75-yard drive of its own to pay dirt. The Cowboys got a scare when Prescott appeared to have tweaked his right knee after a tackle. The Cowboys would enter the final quarter without their starting center after Tyler Biadasz had his right leg rolled up on during the last snap of the third quarter. But it would be Elliot earning the touchdown on a 1-yard run, which extended his streak of rushing scores to nine consecutive games, the longest active streak in the NFL. While the ball fell incomplete, Tennessee was called for pass interference, the result a whopping 51-yard penalty to the Titans' 6-yard line. In the game's final two quarters, though, he was good on 12 of 16 attempts for 137 yards with two touchdowns, nearly doubling his final rating to 85.6. No fault of Prescott's, the perfectly thrown pass bounced off the chest and hands of rookie tight end Peyton Hendershot and into the arms of safety Kevin Byard. Overall, Dallas outgained the Titans, 361 to 317, and held the time of possession, 33:26 to 26:34. Just four seconds into the second frame, Dallas had a 10-0 advantage. Throw in Titans quarterback Joshua Dobbs making his first career start and this had the makings of a Dallas blowout. Instead, the Cowboys continued a disturbing trend of seemingly playing down to their competition's level at times.

This time, with the Cowboys holding onto a 17-13 lead, the offense had just lost center Tyler Biadasz to an ankle injury, forcing three moves across the line.

Titans' false start forces punt – Down by 11 early in the fourth, the Titans had fourth-and-5 at the Cowboys' 40-yard line and had their offense on the field to go for it. But on the first play with the new lineup, Dak Prescott not only hit Schultz for a 6-yard catch, but a roughing the passer penalty on Monty Rice tacked on another 15 yards and put the ball on the Tennessee 26-yard line. Roughing the passer on Titans – After Hilton had extended the drive with a catch-and-run for 28 yards on third down, it was more penalty yards against the Titans. Wilson redirects momentum with sack – After the Cowboys grabbed a 10-0 lead, the Titans tried to get back in the game early in the second quarter after a long pass to Racey McMath. Hilton had a 9-yard reception to move the sticks, allowing the Cowboys to stay on the field and eventually score a 1-yard touchdown by Ezekiel Elliott to get on the board. – The 51-yard pass interference penalty in the third quarter was a game-changer as Michael Gallup drew a penalty at the Tennessee 6-yard line on a third-and-19 play.

Dallas inched a little bit closer to the Eagles on the road, but Philadelphia still controls its own destiny in the title race.

Defensive lineman [Teair Tart](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4374269/teair-tart) also joined the party with a fumble recovery.

The Dallas Cowboys kept their NFC East - and No. 1 seed - hopes alive with their big victory over the Titans in Tennessee on Thursday night.

Ezekiel Elliott scored the first touchdown of the game in the first quarter, and Dallas added a field goal early in the second. Dobbs answered back with the Titans' best drive – and first touchdown – of the night, finding Robert Woods to make it a 17-13 game with just over two minutes to go in the third. They came back with Schultz’s second touchdown of the night to regain an 11-point lead with 11:58 to go. The Titans couldn’t move the ball much on offense for much of the first half.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – You guys should know the drill by now with me, especially in these postgame columns. I don't play the "ugly-win" card or try to take the ...

Sure, the Titans did the same thing, but obviously they were singing a different tune all week long, considering they didn't have to win this game to keep their playoff hopes alive. Sure, a loss would've ended their slim chances of winning the NFC East, and for that reason alone they had to go out and take care of business – which they did. They know the Eagles will probably win one of their last two games, forcing them into the No. They know the Titans were resting many of their best players. The turnovers continue to pile up, the tackling was spotty and once again the pass rush wasn't a major factor. In fact, I went around the locker room after the game and heard the players singing a little different tunes.

Against essentially Tennessee's junior varsity, Dallas needed two touchdown catches by Dalton Schultz and some friendly penalties to earn a 27-13 victory on ...

[this game was his 30th game of the season](https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/dallas-cowboys-podcast-tennessee-titans-kavontae-turpin-usfl-record-preview). - Good news: The Cowboys scored 25+ points for a franchise-record ninth consecutive game and improved to 12-4 and kept alive their hopes for the NFC East championship and even a No. The Cowboys couldn't run the ball (2.7 yards per rush), and in the first half they committed three turnovers and saw ball-hawking cornerback Trevon Diggs drop a Pick Six. Friendly Flags - After converting a 3rd and 30 against the Eagles on Christmas Eve, Dallas took control of this one by turning a 3rd and 19 into a first down with the help of 51-yard pass interference penalty on Titans' undrafted rookie cornerback Tre Avery. The bulk of the success, of course, came on Thanksgiving. Christmas Gifts - Cowboys have enjoyed a good - lucky? But since the NFL began Thursday Night Football in 2006, the Cowboys are 11-5. - We know the Cowboys are America's Team, but they're not bad on Thursdays either. MVP of the USFL and Pro Bowl in the NFL. - This was the Cowboys' first win of the season on natural grass after losses at Philadelphia, Green Bay and Jacksonville. The Cowboys managed just 95 yards in a 31-0 shutout loss. His only pressurized game-winning kick came in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but Maher has scored more points - 137 - than any other player in the NFL.

Dak Prescott y los Cowboys superaron un segundo cuarto de mala comunicación y errores para vencer a los Titans, 27-13.

El mariscal de campo coronó la posesión con una conexión a Schultz, el ala cerrada hizo una buena atrapada saltando en la esquina trasera izquierda de la zona de anotación para agregar puntos al marcador. La ofensiva de los Cowboys enderezó el barco a medida que avanzaba la segunda mitad, aunque recibieron un poco – bueno – mucha ayuda. Se quedó en el juego, pero más tarde en la misma serie, un pase lanzado ligeramente detrás de Schultz le dio a Byard su segunda intercepción de la noche. En el lado defensivo del balón, los Cowboys permitieron solo un touchdown y limitaron a Dobbs a 232 yardas en 20 de 39 pases para una calificación de 67.5. Desafortunadamente, la ofensiva de los Cowboys sería su peor enemigo durante el resto de la mitad. También se unió a Emmitt Smith (11 en 1985) como los únicos jugadores en la historia de los Cowboys con un touchdown por tierra en al menos nueve salidas consecutivas. Pero sería Elliot quien ganaría el touchdown en una carrera de 1 yarda, lo que extendió su racha de anotaciones por tierra a nueve juegos consecutivos, la racha activa más larga en la NFL. El corredor Julius Chestnut recogió 33 yardas, lo que eventualmente condujo a un gol de campo de 37 yardas. Pérdidas de balón, pases caídos y fallas en la defensa secundaria mantuvieron a los Titans a su alcance hasta el último cuarto. Sin embargo, en los últimos dos cuartos del juego, estuvo bien en 12 de 16 intentos para 137 yardas con dos touchdowns, casi duplicando su calificación final a 85.6. Los Cowboys anunciaron más temprano ese día que el corredor de Pro Bowl, Tony Pollard, estaría fuera por una lesión en el muslo, uniéndose a jugadores como Leighton Vander Esch y otros que no jugarían. Sin embargo, eso no fue nada comparado con la gran cantidad de jugadores titulares que no jugaron para Tennessee, incluyendo al corredor Derek Henry y al tackle defensivo Jeffery Simmons, dos de los mejores de la NFL.

It's not like the Dallas Cowboys wore green or bright orange on Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans. The uniform they wore was familiar.

124 penalty yards prove to be the fatal flaw of the Tennessee Titans in 27-13 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday Night Football.

A few of these calls and missed calls came in crucial points in the game, but it should not take away from the sloppiness of the Titans’ play. “The same guy who called the 50-yard pass interference penalty didn’t see it the same way on our sidelines. “It is too hard to beat the Cowboys or any good football teams when you beat yourself,” Vrabel said postgame. That’s the kind of stuff that makes it hard to win. Not only were the Titans committing penalties, to Vrabel’s point, they were committing dumb penalties in big situations. That massive discrepancy was the difference in the game.

CeeDee Lamb became the third player in franchise history to surpass 100 catches in a season, joining Michael Irvin and Jason Witten.

"It builds our confidence," Lamb said of Hilton's rapid progression in the Cowboys offense. That was again evidenced in Nashville but, as has been the case more often than not in 2022, they found ways to remain resilient en route to a victory. "We've still got a ways to go, honestly," said Lamb. "I'm doing whatever to get extra yards," he said. "I always wanna finish strong," said Lamb. Lamb caught 11 passes for 100 yards, pushing him to 102 catches for the season, becoming just the third player in franchise history to hit the century mark, joining Michael Irvin (111 in 1995) and Jason Witten (110 in 2012).

CeeDee Lamb continued his hot streak in the Cowboys' win over the Titans, collecting his third consecutive game with at least 100 yards receiving.
