What an insane fourth quarter but the Cowboys escape Oakland with a 20-17 win over the Raiders.

The Cowboys tried to get Alfred Morris in the end zone but the Raiders hold up and force a field goal on fourth down. Dallas goes up 20-17, but we’re not done...
Anthony Brown has a chance to end this game but can’t haul in the interception:

The Raiders march right down the field with a pass interference call on Jourdan Lewis gives the Raiders 55 yards:
That Pass Interference brings us all the way into the red zone.
