What is the story about?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a chance to take a three-possession lead late in the fourth quarter. It was fourth and goal at the one yard line and instead of going for the easy field goal to make it a 27-10 lead, they elected to go for the touchdown and were stuffed at the line of scrimmage.

So, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott led the Cowboys on a 99-yard drive in a little over three minutes which he capped off with a 17-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver George

Pickens.

Dallas went for the two-point conversion, but it was no good to keep Tampa Bay’s lead at eight points

at 24-16. The decision to go for the two-point conversion is questionable. An extra point would have made it a seven-point game with no need for a two-point conversion to tie it. Since they failed the conversion, they now need a touchdown with the two-point conversion to tie the game up at 24-24. Dallas is about to get the ball back with just under four minutes left in regulation.
