Skip Bayless Experiences Wild Range of Emotions During Cowboys Comeback Win Over Texans
By Liam McKeone
The Dallas Cowboys played like a JV team for the first 58 minutes of their matchup against the Houston Texans on Sunday, a game in which they were favored by 17 points. But it ultimately did not matter as Dak Prescott marched his team 98 yards down the field to score a go-ahead touchdown with 30 seconds remaining and escaped Houston with a 27-23 win.
Sports media's No. 1 Cowboys fan, Skip Bayless, experienced quite a range of emotions throughout the game. Especially considering it was a regular season game that probably will not mean much as Dallas is the top Wild Card team by a long shot and are equally as far from the NFC East lead. Nothing would have changed with a loss except for how everyone feels about the Cowboys and the way that they won had a similar effect.
Regardless, here's Bayless going through it on Twitter throughout the afternoon.
The Dallas Cowboys just did exactly what they're supposed to do today: They took the opening kickoff and they FLEXED THEIR FIREPOWER. These are not your Same Old Cowboys. This team will soon make a deep playoff run.

Whoops. Very late fair-catch signal by Turpin, eye on defender, not on football ... first blunder of the season. Metallic silver lining: Get it out of your system now, so being "perfect" doesn't hang over your head going into the playoffs.

OK, 10 gift-wrapped points for the Texans. Take back control, Dak. Show me something.

Yet another first-half interception for Dak, this one tipped, but yet another weird, wobbly throw into traffic. HERE WE GO AGAIN: ANOTHER "OFF" DAY FOR DAK PRESCOTT. Texans, 17-14, as the biggest underdog of the year in the NFL.

WHAT KIND OF CALL WAS THAT??? PLOWHORSE ZEKE STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE??? IF THIS WERE 2016 OR 2017, OK. BUT NO LONGER. COME ON, KELLEN MOORE, YOU'RE MORE CLEVER THAN THAT. GET TONY POLLARD ON THE EDGE. ROLL DAK OUT AND LET HIM FLIP IT TO A A TIGHT END. DISASTER.

COULD THE BEST PASS RUSH IN FOOTBALL PLEASE GENERATE JUST A PLAY OR TWO OF PASS RUSH???

Again, Dak is making me miss Cooper Rush.

DAK PRESCOTT CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. What a great call on the play of the game, spreading 'em out, hitting 'em where they ain't, popping Zeke up the middle when the Texans were playing pass. What a Bakeresque drive!

There wasn't much good about what I just watched except ... the DALLAS COWBOYS ARE 10-3. RIP 'EM ALL YOU WANT, BUT THEY JUST WON THEIR 4TH STRAIGHT, WHICH IS ALL I CARE ABOUT.
