Cowboys' offense struggles, but Dak Prescott makes enough plays to beat Chargers

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard's spin-o-rama out of a tackle sparks a 60-yard pickup early in the fourth quarter on 'Monday Night Football'.

This offseason, Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy explained that he didn't want to light up the scoreboard on offense. He wanted to run the ball and win games, not have the top offense in the NFL. That drew some laughs.

Monday night must have been perfect for him.

Dallas had an uninspiring offensive game, but it was good enough. Dak Prescott made a few key plays, the Cowboys' defense played well and when the Cowboys needed one long drive to win the game, they got it.
