Greg Zuerlein nailed a 56-yard field goal as time expired that clinched a 20-17 Cowboys win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Inglewood. Rushing touchdowns from Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott gave Dallas a 14-11 first-half lead. Pollard had 13 carries for 109 yards. Dak Prescott didn't find the end zone, as the Cowboys quarterback went 23-of-27 for 237 yards with an interception. Dallas was able to overcome the turnovers with two interceptions of its own off Justin Herbert. Trevon Diggs picked off Herbert in the first half and Damontae Kazee intercepted a pass in the end zone in the third quarter. Herbert finished with 338 yards and one touchdown pass to Mike Williams, but his two picks ended up being costly. Keenan Allen led Los Angeles through the air with four catches for 108 yards. Both teams are 1-1 after the Cowboys win.
