The Dallas Cowboys picked off Justin Herbert to end the game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, picking up its fourth win of the season.
The Dallas Cowboys defense wreaked havoc on the Los Angeles Chargers all night long, ultimately becoming the decisive factor in the 20-17 win on the road Monday night. After Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense led a drive that ended with a field goal from rookie kicker Brandon Aubrey to take a 20-17 lead, the Chargers had a little over two minutes to at least match those three points to force overtime at the end of the fourth quarter. But the defense had victory in mind.
It started with star defensive end Micah Parsons taking Justin Herbert down to the turf for the team’s first sack of the night on second down. Then, on third-and-10, Herbert was pressured and forced into throwing an interception to Stephon Gilmore, which iced it. The Cowboys improved to 4-2 following a beating from the San Francisco 49ers the week prior. Meanwhile, the Chargers went to 2-3 on the year after failing to pull together another game-winning drive.
Herbert and the Chargers went five plays for 42 yards after forcing a three-and-out on Dallas to start the game, and Keenan Allen's score on a 1-yard touchdown made it a 7-0 lead. The Cowboys immediately responded with a touchdown drive of their own, as Prescott, on fourth-and-one, decided to keep it on a read option play, which the Chargers weren’t looking for at all.
