The Dallas Cowboys faced their toughest challenge in over a month as they took on the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football.
The Cowboys entered Week 13 with a three-game win streak but they had to work for their fourth win in a row as the Seahawks gave them everything they had.
Seattle had a lead in the second half, but Dallas managed to respond in the fourth quarter and held on in the closing minutes to seal the win.
Dak Prescott continued his tear throwing the football as he recorded another 299 passing yards and three touchdowns, but the defense was the hero of the night as they stepped up when they needed to the most.
On the Seahawks’ final drive of the game, Micah Parsons did what he does best and got after Smith on fourth down to force the turnover on downs.
After his performance, Parsons now leads the NFL in pressures via Sam Monson of PFF.

Dallas’ defense carried the team for the first half of the season, and Parsons was the catalyst for that as he’s turning in the best year of his career.
Parsons has been a load off the edge for opposing offensive linemen and he has a knack for making plays when the Cowboys need him to.
The star pass rusher is nearly unblockable one-on-one and even when he draws two defenders he’s able to break his way through to create havoc in the backfield.
Parsons is one of the few game changers on the defensive end and his play could very well propel Dallas to their first Super Bowl in decades.
