Dak Prescott doesn’t have to worry about Tony Romo looming over his shoulder this Sunday, but he’ll need to keep an eye out for Steelers linebacker Anthony Chickillo.
Chickillo stripped Prescott of the ball on a first down play at midfield on the Cowboys’ first offensive possession and linebacker Ryan Shazier fell on the ball to create the first turnover of the afternoon. Running back Le’Veon Bell got five touches on the ensuing drive, including the two-yard touchdown catch that put the afternoon’s first points on the board a short time later.
The Steelers tried for two points, but tight end Ladarius Green couldn’t reel in the first pass thrown his way while wearing a Steelers uniform. That leaves the score 6-0 and the Cowboys got good field position when Chris Boswell’s kickoff went out of bounds.
Maybe he should try a rabona kick next time?
