The second half was full of horrible plays and humorous events.

A Seahawks touchdown gave them the lead 10-13 early on, but on the kickoff return the Cowboys took the lead back. 20-13.

Then there was quite a bit of sloppy football, including a penalty on first down for the Cowboys where Kyle Kosier threw hands to the face, costing the Cowboys 10 yards.

The officials didn’t notice, but Kyle then gave them the bird.

The Seahawks came close to tying the game with a touchdown, but on first and goal at the 1 Shaun Alexander lost about 7 yards. Two plays later and it was third and goal at the 1. The Seahawks just couldn’t convert though. They gave the ball away on downs at the one.

Then, magic! The Seahawks recovered a fumble in the endzone, or it looked like it! On challenge, it turned out not to be, as Tatupu’s foot was on the side-line. So it was a safety. 20-15 Cowboys.

The Seahawks came back with a touchdown and went for two. They didn’t convert. 20-21 Seahawks.

There was just too little time left. Inside the two minute warning, it looked like the Cowboys had a first down at the 1.  Actually Lofa Tatupu stopped them before the 1, and so the Cowboys had to settle for a field goal.

The snap was muffed, and Seattle recovered a fumble! Roma fumbled it at the 1, and Seattle recovered!!!

Alexander then ran it out to about the 20, getting the Seahawks out of danger of a safety. The Cowboys had  time outs left, and used one on 2nd and 11. Then they used another on 3rd and 11.

The Seahawks had a lousy punt, and there was enough time left for one play at the 50 for Dallas. A hail Mary pass was incomplete and the game was over! The Seahawks won 21-20!!!

What a mess, but what a fun final few minutes!
