The Cowboys pulled out lots of Pittsburgh Steelers Hats trick plays in their 23-9 lo s to the Eagles on"Sunday Night Football," but the weirdest sequence of plays came late in the fourth quarter and were a perfect representation of the NFC East this season.Down by 12 points withthe balland facing a fourth-and-17 at its 16, Dallas (2-6) elected to take a delay of game penalty and then snap the ball out the back of the end zone while in punt formation, resulting in a safety. That made it a 14-point deficit still a two-po se sion game with 3:55to play and gave the Cowboys Pittsburgh Steelers Hoodies Sweatshirts a chance to recover an onside free kick from their 20.I'm sure the Cowboys taking this safety didn't hurt any live bettors.. Bet The Pigskin (@betthepigskin) MORE: Then it got even weirder. Kicker Greg Zuerlein, who was the lone offense for Dallas on the night with three field goals, lofteda shallow punt, leading to a huge dogpile. Philadelphia (3-4-1) came out with the ball, but it was still a pretty clever idea and nearly paid Ben Roethlisberger Jersey off.Cowboys didn't get the ball, but this kick was brilliant on NBC The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) Fans loved it. Who wouldn't want to see more onside punts?If an ONSIDE PUNT Diontae Johnson Jersey isn't peak NFC East football I have no idea what is John Breech (@johnbreech) All the players standing around the pile after that onside punt: Brayden Smith (@tweetsbybray_) If someone was watching football for the first time tonight, they might understand this game more than I do Mark Gilbert Jersey .
