Tampa Bay committed four penalties, including a horse-collar tackle and a pass interference that gave Dallas automatic first downs after being stopped short. An illegal contact and an unsportsmanlike conduct followed.
The throw into the end zone was risky. Had the ball fallen incomplete, the clock might not have stopped in time for a field goal try. It ended up not mattering because Johnson made his best play of the day, throwing high enough for Williams to use his 4-inch height advantage to grab the ball over cornerback Phillip Buchanon.
Williams caught two passes for 10 yards in his first home game with the Cowboys; he was shut out last week in his first game since being acquired in a trade with Detroit.
Dallas tight end Jason Witten caught only one pass for 8 yards, then left with a rib injury. X-rays showed no break and he returned for a few plays in the third quarter, then went to the sideline for good.
