First it was Anthony Spencer losing a potential interception from a Brandon Carr deflection. Then it was an Emmanuel Sanders fumble turned into an incomplete after an official review. The Dallas Cowboys are nearly forced multiple turnovers during Pittsburgh's opening possession that ended with a first down but nothing else.

Pittsburgh punted the football to Dallas' 13-yard line, compounded by a one-yard loss on the return, giving the Cowboys the football at their own 12-yard line.
