The Cowboys were playing on a short week and trying to earn the first playoff victory in the Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott era Youth Tavon Austin Jersey , and the second in Jason Garrett’s tenure as head coach. Against the Seahawks, who have a seasoned head coach and a dangerous quarterback, it was always going to be tough. But the Cowboys pulled out a gutsy 24-22 win and will advance to the divisional round. Here are the five plays that shaped the game. Tavon Austin returns a punt to the house, but a penalty brings it backThere was a good chance that Tavon Austin was going to have at least one impact play in this game, and it was almost a touchdown-scoring one. After the Dallas defense forced the Seahawks to their third consecutive three and out, Michael Dickson came on to punt. Austin fielded the ball at the Dallas 20-yard line and made a couple of quick moves before his blazing speed took off down the field 80 yards for a touchdown that would’ve given the Cowboys a 10-0 lead and swung momentum in a massive way. But there was a penalty flag on the field and CJ Goodwin was called for a hold. Instead of a huge special teams play that gave Dallas a 10-point lead, the Cowboys would start their drive at their own 14.Sebastian Janikowski gets injured on long field goal missSebastian Janikowski had long been one of the NFL’s premier kickers, and even at 40-years-old he’s still reliable. But when the Seahawks opted to attempt a 57-yard field goal with three seconds left in the first half, chances of making it were low. However, if Janikowski did put it through the upright, Seattle would make it a 10-9 game at halftime. The kick ended up wide right, but the most important part of this play was that immediately after kicking the ball Janikowski started grabbing at his hamstring as if something was seriously pulled. He would end up sitting out the rest of the game, and with punter Michael Dickson having little to no experience kicking field goals, Seattle wound up going for it on fourth down whenever in scoring range and going for two points after each score, and it drastically altered the way that Pete Carroll had to manage this game. KJ Wright gets away with interference on Noah Brown and snags endzone interceptionWith a narrow 17-14 lead, the Cowboys had the ball and were trying to score a touchdown that Tavon Austin Jersey Stitched , with about 10 minutes left, would significantly increase the pressure on Seattle. Austin set the offense up perfectly with a big 51-yard punt return that set Dak and Co. up at the Seattle 38. One big Amari Cooper catch and a holding penalty later, and the Cowboys were at the Seattle 16. They ran a play action bootleg that had Noah Brown in a favorable matchup on linebacker KJ Wright in the endzone and Dak threw the pass. However, Wright was draped all over Brown before the ball arrived and the linebacker tipped the ball a couple of times while Brown fell to the ground. By the time Wright also went down, he had intercepted the pass. No flags were thrown, and the Seahawks were gifted the ball. Wright reportedly even admitted to early contact after the game, too.Dak uses his clutch gene again and picks up a first down on 3rd and 14The Dallas defense managed to get the ball back after Seattle’s interception, and the Cowboys knew that a touchdown here, with under seven minutes in the game, would likely put it out of reach. The offense began a long, methodical drive that was, poetically so, helped out by some good pass interference calls against Seattle. Nevertheless, the drive stalled once inside the red zone as is customary this year, and the Cowboys were facing a third and 14 at the Seattle 17. Dallas needed a touchdown to really put the game away. Dak Prescott took the shotgun snap and ran a designed draw up the middle, and the third-year signal caller came up clutch once again:The ball was marked down inside the one-yard line Youth Rod Smith Jersey , giving the Cowboys a first down in the most entertaining of ways. On the next play, Dak scored on a QB sneak play that made the score 24-14 with just over two minutes left in the game and, as Seattle had no remaining timeouts, made a Seahawks comeback incredibly unlikely. Michael Dickson’s botched onside kick seals the dealDespite an unlikely comeback, the Seahawks at least did their best. A huge Tyler Lockett pickup led to a touchdown pass on fourth down that, after a two-point conversion, cut the Cowboys’ lead to just two points. It was now all up to punter Michael Dickson to make a successful onside kick and then hope Russell Wilson had something left in him. Dickson, an Australian born punter, was unable to kick off from a tee like normal and thus had been using the dropkick method. In his onside kick attempt, it seemed as if he got too much of the ball, as it skied upwards and farther back than it should have gone. Cole Beasley made a clean catch at the Dallas 32 and went down right away. Dak came out to kneel down twice and secure the playoff victory. Chris Carson dished out punishing runs. Russell Wilson made smart, decisive throws at key moments. A defense led by Bobby Wagner and an unhappy Earl Thomas forced turnovers, making Dak Prescott and Dallas look meager trying to move the ball.The Seattle Seahawks returned to a familiar, old formula to avoid a dreaded 0-3 start, beating the Cowboys 24-13 on Sunday."This is how we want to play. We couldn't be any more specific about it," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said.Wilson threw two touchdown passes in the first half Rod Smith Jerseys Stitched , Carson added a 5-yard TD run in early in the fourth quarter and the Seahawks won their 10th straight home opener. Wilson hit Jaron Brown on an 16-yard touchdown early in the second quarter, and later hit Tyler Lockett streaking up the sideline on a 52-yard scoring pass, and Seattle (1-2) built a 17-3 halftime lead and cruised past the Cowboys.The duo of Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott didn't have the answers against a Seattle defense that had Thomas on the field and welcomed back Wagner after the Seahawks' defensive leader missed Week 2 with a groin injury.Prescott was intercepted twice by Thomas , including with 3:09 remaining at the Seattle 15 on a deflected pass, with Thomas bowing to the Dallas sideline at the end of the play. It was Thomas' way of acknowledging the Cowboys should have done more by now to try to acquire him from the Seahawks after the former All-Pro made it clear he wanted out of Seattle if a contract extension wasn't coming."I felt like that was just in the moment and if they were going to trade for me and extend me, they should have did it," Thomas said of his bow that drew a 15-yard penalty.Prescott was sacked five times and Dallas (1-2) had just 58 net yards passing entering the fourth quarter. Elliott had momentary flashes, busting off a few long runs, but they were too infrequent for Dallas' stagnant offense.Thomas' second interception was one of two turnovers forced by Seattle in the fourth quarter. Elliott broke free for a 26-yard run to the Seattle 19 earlier in the quarter, but had the ball punched free from behind by Bradley McDougald and recovered by the Seahawks."When you've got that ball in your hand, that's the team in our hand," Elliott said. "Me being a leader on the team, I've got to do a better job of taking care of the ball. I mean, that cost us the game."Prescott finished 19 of 34 for 168 yards and a 3-yard shovel pass TD to Tavon Austin with 7:11 remaining. Dallas failed to pass for 200 yards for the ninth time in the past 11 games dating to last season. Elliott had 127 yards on 16 carries."We've got to find exactly our go-to in the passing game — and not necessarily am I speaking on a player," Prescott said. "I'm just speaking on our go-to concepts or go-to beaters or whatever it may be that we didn't get to."Meanwhile, Wilson had the kind of protection that's been absent most of the season. After being sacked 12 times in the first two games Youth Damien Wilson Jersey , Wilson was 16 of 26 for 192 yards and sacked twice by Dallas' defense that was second in the league in sacks. Despite missing starting center Justin Britt, the offensive line gave Wilson enough time for a few big plays in the passing game.Wilson's strike to Brown gave Seattle a 7-0 lead and he took advantage of the absence of safety Jeff Heath when he found Lockett on a 52-yard TD late in the second quarter. Heath departed with a left ankle injury earlier in the drive and Wilson found Lockett streaking up the sideline. Heath's replacement, Kavon Frazier, was late to rotate over and Lockett went untouched, high-stepping the final few yards for a 14-3 lead.Carson's TD run was the first by a Seahawks running back since J.D. McKissic found the end zone on a 31-yard run in Week 4 of the 2017 season. Seattle went 14 games without a running back finding the end zone until Carson bulled his way in with 12:54 remaining.Carson finished with 102 yards, the first Seattle running back to top 100 yards since late in the 2016 season."This is the offense we claimed to be the whole offseason," Carson said.THOMAS DRAMAFollowing a week of drama surrounding Thomas, the former All-Pro safety started and almost immediately made his presence known. Thomas missed two days of practice for personal reasons which Carroll provided only vague answers as to why, and left open the possibility Thomas wouldn't play.He was on the field as usual, and it took less than a quarter before Thomas was making a remarkable interception, pinning a deflected pass against his shin. It was the second two-interception game of his career and the first since his rookie season in 2010.FREE POINTSSeattle was gifted three points at the end of the half when Randy Gregory was baited into a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, smacking Seattle's Joey Hunt in the facemask. The penalty put Seattle in range for Sebastian Janikowski's 47-yard field goal and a 17-3 lead at the half.INJURIESDallas also played a large portion of the second half without linebacker Sean Lee due to a hamstring injury. Lee said it was the same issue that had him listed as questionable on the injury report."It feels like the same deal, but I have to get (evaluated) and see where I'm at," Lee said.UP NEXTCowboys: returns home to host Detroit next Sunday.Seahawks: at division rival Arizona next Sunday.
