LIVE GAME COVERAGE

FOURTH QUARTER

• Patriots muster a FG after some punt shenanigans by the Patriots pants Jason Garrett, and a pass interference call. PATRIOTS 13, COWBOYS 6.


• Dallas finally made a play. Prescott perfect pass to Cobb, who beat Devin McCourty. Cobb catches his own fumble. 59 yards.


• Of course Garrett kicks a FG that will not matter. PATRIOTS 13, COWBOYS 9.

• Apparently Rex Burkhead is getting unleashed in the second half after no touches in the first.


• Summation of the third quarter so far: neither team can pass.


• Patriots don't have anyone open vs. man coverage. Edelman converted a third and 20 against zone.


• Huge third and long conversion from Prescott to Gallup.

• Bobbled snap by Prescott leads to a rushed throw that is picked off by Gilmore and the offense has another short field.


• Big kick by Nick Folk from 44 gets the Patriots points off the turnover. PATRIOTS 10, COWBOYS 0


• Jason Garrett continues to stay conservative as he kicks the field goal instead of going on 4th and 3 in Patriots territory. New England will take it. PATRIOTS 10, COWBOYS 3.


• Jakobi Meyers breaks a terrible tackle attempt and goes for 32 yards.


• Drive stalls on some ugly pass attempts and Folk misses wide right from 46.


• A colossally dumb penalty by Deatrich Wise set up the Cowboys for a FG and may get him benched. PATRIOTS 10, COWBOYS 6.


• Sloppy final drive for the Patriots yields a Folk field goal that is no good from 48.

• Patriots will get the ball in the second half.


• Good start running the ball against a terrible run defense. But Brady goes 0 for 2 and a punt.


• Cowboys have a promising drive that short circuits on a Tryon Smith false start and then the FG doinks off the post.


• Blocked punt by Matthew Slater sets up the offense as the 12.


• N'Keal Harry with a great back-shoulder catch for his first career touchdown. PATRIOTS 7, COWBOYS 0.
