Dak Prescott and the Cowboys put together an 11-play, 49-yard drive in the final four minutes and capped with a 56-yard field goal by Greg Zuerlein to down the Chargers in their home opener by a score of 20-17.
The Dallas run game rebounded from a porous performance against the Buccaneers to the tune of 198 yards and 6.4 yards per carry.
Justin Herbert threw for 338 yards on 31-for-41 passing and one touchdown but through a pair of ill-advised interceptions, the second of which came in the end zone.
