Dallas Cowboys blast through Colts with blowout win: Best memes, tweets.
The Week 13 edition of Sunday Night Football featured the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Indianapolis Colts.
Dallas was coming off a Thanksgiving Day win over the rival New York Giants to improve their record to 8-3 on the season and to take sole possession of second place in the NFC East. Meanwhile, the Colts are coming off of a Monday Night Football loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, where interim head coach Jeff Saturday’s clock management at the end of the game was under scrutiny.
On Sunday, the Cowboys defeated the Colts 54-19 to improve to 9-3 on the year and keep their two-game gap behind the Philadelphia Eagles for first place in the NFC East.
Ever since the Colts took a 3-0 lead on a 51-yard field goal by Chase McLaughlin on the opening drive. The Cowboys then responded on their next drive with a 20-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dak Prescott to wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.
From there, it was back-and-forth between both teams. That was until the fourth quarter.
With a 21-19 lead, Prescott connected with wide receiver Michael Gallup for a three-yard touchdown pass to increase the score to 28-19. Then, on the following drive, Cowboys linebacker Damone Clark forced Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox to fumble after a reception, allowing safety Malik Hooker to return it 38-yards for a touchdown.

Last week multiple Cowboys players were fined for using the Salvation Army bucket to celebrate, so Dak and Zeke paid their fines.
Tonight Dak and Zeke did their own celebration in the Salvation Army bucket 😂🙌
