Monday Night Football: Nick Folk Kicks 52-Yard Field Goal to Cap Miracle Comeback in Cowboys Win Over Bills
Tony Romo threw five interceptions and fumbled once yet the Dallas Cowboys somehow managed to put themselves in position to win the game and with 2 seconds left on the clock Nick Folk kicked a 52-yard field goal not once but twice to beat the Buffalo Bills 25-24 on Monday Night Football.

The Cowboys climbed to within 24-16 when Folk kicked his third field goal of the game early in the fourth, setting up a dramatic touchdown with 24 seconds left on the clock as Romo hit Patrick Crayton on a 4-yard pass to pull within 24-22. On the two-point conversion attempt Romo lofted a ball to Owens in the corner but Bills corner Jabari Greer stripped the ball from Owens and it looked like
The only thing the Bills would have to do was secure the onside kick. That didn’t happen and the rest will go down in Cowboys history as one of the most remarkable wins in memory.
