Dallas' defense stiffened late, forcing Seattle
to turn over the ball on downs on its final three possessions.
Geno Smith threw three touchdown passes to DK Metcalf for the
Seahawks (6-6), who lost their third game in a row.
The Cowboys won their 14th consecutive home game dating back to
September 2022.
The go-ahead drive came after Seattle was stopped on
fourth-and-1 at the Cowboys' 46-yard line with 7:04 remaining.
Prescott, who was 29 of 41 for 299 yards, completed three passes
to Lamb on the drive and scampered 8 yards to Seattle's 7.
Following a penalty, one of 19 for 257 yards combined for both
teams in the game, Prescott found Ferguson to give Dallas a
38-35 lead.
Aubrey added a 32-yard field goal with 1:43 to go to cap the
scoring.
After trailing by 10 early in the game, the Seahawks took a
21-20 halftime lead on a 1-yard TD pass with four seconds left
in the second quarter.
Smith scored on a 5-yard run on the opening possession of the
second half to put Seattle up 28-20.
Dallas pulled within a point on a 6-yard run by Pollard.
The Cowboys had a chance to take the lead as DaRon Bland
intercepted a pass at Seattle's 38-yard line. But Dallas
eschewed a potential go-ahead field goal on fourth-and-2 from
the 30 and Prescott's pass for Lamb fell incomplete.
Smith (23 of 41, 334 yards, one interception) floated a 3-yard
TD pass to Metcalf in the back of the end zone with 14:17
remaining to extend Seattle's lead to 35-27.
Aubrey's third field goal, from 38 yards, made it 35-30 with
11:23 left.
