Rico Dowdle’s juggling touchdown for Cowboys is NFL’s wildest touchdown this week
How did Rico Dowdle come down with this?
Rico Dowdle came into the Dallas Cowboys’ Week 9 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons as the team’s starting running back after missing last week with an illness. Dowdle had some fantasy upside this week with Ezekiel Elliott inactive, and it didn’t take the Cowboys’ back long to get in the end zone.
Dallas drove deep into the Atlanta red zone while trailing in the second quarter when Dak Prescott escaped the pocket and lofted a pass to Dowdle in the end zone. Dowdle leapt to catch the ball, juggled it as a Falcons defender dove in, and finally came down with the circus catch as he laid on his back in the end zone. What a way for Dallas to score its first touchdown of the day. Watch the play here:
DAK TO DOWDLE. HOW DID THIS GET COMPLETED??

The Cowboys are going to need to score a lot of points this week based on how good Atlanta’s offense looks right now. Dowdle came through to get them in the end zone.
