Injuries to some of their top players before the game. Injuries to key players during the game. Weather delays, turnovers, blocked kicks and more. Yet, the Cowboys find a way to win. 

There were ample opportunities for Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys to walk away with a loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but they fought through it all to leave with a victory.

While his final carry was nearly disastrous, Rico Dowdle had his best game of his career and said he credits the performance to "finding his rhythm" especially in the second half. 

Plays that might get forgotten include both the Steelers and Cowboys calling timeout to give Jalen Tolbert a chance to catch his breath before catching the final touchdown. 

Despite injuries and turnovers early on, the Cowboys orchestrate a late-game comeback for a 20-17 victory over the Steelers.

It's a rivalry that extends back decades, and one that several players gave their all to the Dallas Cowboys to try and stave off the Pittsburgh Steelers and their Terrible Towels in primetime. 

The Cowboys are already decimated on defense, and now they'll be without a key offensive player as Brandin Cooks has been placed on IR with a knee injury. 

Let's look at the top five names that need a big week in order to secure a Dallas win.

As @spags52 writes in his Friday column, given all the injuries the Dallas defense is dealing with, the time has come for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense to kick it into gear on Sunday night in Pittsburgh.

The Cowboys are hurting on the injury front with several key players, including Micah Parsons out for Sunday's game. But do they still have enough in reserve to 'steel' a win in Pittsburgh?

Dak Prescott said he's playing "solid" football through four games, but knows he can play better. But he won't try to be "Superman" without so many other key players out for Sunday's game. 

It's an NFL rivalry that stretches back to nearly 60 years, and the Dallas Cowboys will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers to add another chapter to a book that's always been a must-read. 

Brandin Cooks will miss at least one game for the Dallas Cowboys, and possibly a couple more, but CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott see plenty of talent.

Hunter Luepke continues to add value to the Cowboys offense in a variety of ways. But he says he's found inspiration from previous successful fullbacks that have helped him pattern his style of play. 

Here are the top-10 Cowboys who were born in the Pittsburgh area.

It takes a legend to truly understand what a likely one might look like, and Dan Bailey loves what he's seeing from current Cowboys' kicker Brandon Aubrey.

Two of the top franchises in sports clash again this week in Pittsburgh. Here are the 10 most notable 'big facts' to remember ahead of Sunday's 7:20 CT kickoff on NBC.

Brandin Cooks is the latest player to miss Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. The veteran wide receiver is dealing with what Mike McCarthy described as a "knee issue" that could force him out longer than just one game.

Welcome to "The Science Lab", a place where football facts and in-depth analysis always triumph over feelings.

The Cowboys and Steelers have their own unique rivalry that has included three Super Bowl matchups. But Sunday's game in Pittsburgh has plenty of current storylines to follow.

Another huge blow has been struck to the defensive front of the Dallas Cowboys, as DeMarcus Lawrence is moved to injured reserve with his foot ailment.

The Cowboys will likely be without both of their star pass-rushers this week. And while one veteran says "there's no way to replace" both Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, what exactly will be the play on Sunday?
