Cowboys' Late TD Stuns Colts, Caps Crucial Gardner Decision
9 Nov
Summary
- Prescott's key pass set up Cowboys' game-winning touchdown.
- Gardner's performance this season lacks interceptions and tackles.
- His contract runs four more years with significant future salary increases.
The Dallas Cowboys secured a dramatic 27-23 victory against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, with a crucial 46-yard pass from Dak Prescott on the final drive leading to the game-winning touchdown. This game has intensified the debate surrounding the Detroit Lions' potential trade for cornerback Sauce Gardner.
Gardner, who was sent to Indianapolis last November, has not performed at his peak and has dealt with a calf injury. This season, he has accumulated 20 tackles and six passes defended, but no interceptions, raising questions about his value. The Lions have until November 10 at 4 p.m. ET to make roster moves, but acquiring Gardner, who is under contract for four more years with escalating salary obligations through the 2030 season, presents a significant financial and performance risk.
