With 16.8 yards of separation, Cowboys' Tavon Austin scores 59-yard TD

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Before coming to the Dallas Cowboys, wide receiver Tavon Austin spent the first five seasons of his career with the Los Angeles Rams. He probably hasn't had an easier touchdown and it had to feel good coming against his former team.

It took some Dak Prescott magic first, but it was easy once the Dallas quarterback's pass was launched in the air. On second-and-9, Prescott had to elude an unblocked Dante Fowler Jr. off the quarterback's right side. Once he did that, he spotted a wide-open Austin on the left side of the field and the receiver was able to jog the final 35 yards for the 59-yard touchdown that gave Dallas a 14-7 lead in the second quarter Sunday.
