Greg Zuerlein's onside kick, field goal leads Cowboys to wild comeback win against Falcons

It took a wild onside kick, but the Cowboys completed an insane 20-point comeback to beat the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon.

Dallas rallied back and kicked a field goal in the final seconds to beat the Falcons 40-39 at AT&T Stadium, winning a game that had more than been written off.

Dallas’ costly early mistakes

The Cowboys couldn’t hold on to the ball in the first quarter.

Dallas fumbled three times in the period — and almost had a fourth, though it was overturned — to fall into a fast 20-point hole, marking the most opening-quarter points they’ve given up since 1985.
