The Dallas Cowboys topped the New England Patriots 29-21 in a thrilling Week 16 matchup that kept their playoff hopes alive. With both teams vying for crucial positioning, the Cowboys delivered a strong performance at home to secure the victory.

Defensively, the Cowboys made critical plays that shifted momentum in their favor.
