The Dallas Cowboys escaped the Colts with a late-game win. And CeeDee Lamb is upset about the offense’s performance. But Lamb had a fourth-quarter fumble that could have cost the Cowboys. And Ryan Flournoy had a five-word declaration about saving Lamb, according to a post on X by Bobby Belt.

“Ryan Flournoy walking to the locker: ‘I was made for this.’ After CeeDee Lamb's fumble, he went and sat off by himself on the bench and started watching the tablet. Flournoy made sure to follow him over and sit with him. He followed that up with the pivotal catch of the game.’

Flournoy helped the Cowboys turn a potential loss into a 27-23 win on Sunday. Here is a look at his play, according to a post on X by ClutchPoints.

Cowboys survive scare from Colts

Quarterback Dak Prescott said the Cowboys did what they needed to do when it counted most, according to ESPN.

“We got it done,” Prescott said. “It wasn't the prettiest. It wasn't the best second half from the whole team, but we got it done. We said at the beginning of the game, whatever it takes to come out with a win, and we did that.

“It's good to clean things up with a win,” Prescott said. “The way to get consistent is to get back to work and make sure we're doing everything right, discipline and details, and make sure we're playing better.”

So what should the Cowboys do from here? Dan Graziano has a strong opinion about them standing pat at the trade deadline, according to ESPN.

“At this point, they'd be throwing good money after bad,” Graziano wrote. “This is a very young defense with a young, first-time coordinator that was always going to need time to grow together. Unfortunately for the Cowboys, the amount of time needed was clearly more than a few months.

“Chasing an NFC East title just because you don't think the Giants are for real is an admirable idea, but even if the Cowboys were to catch New York, is this the kind of team that can really expect to make noise in the playoffs? Doubtful.”
