Sure, it was a simple wide receiver screen, but it meant so much more to Cowboys fans.
Coming on in releief of starter Matt Cassel, Dallas quarterback Kellen Moore threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Dez Bryant to help his team take a 10-9 lead into the half against the Jets. Saturday night. Moore is the fourth signal-caller to handle a snap for the Cowboys this season. The list also includes Tony Romo and Brandon Weeden. Cassel hadn't thrown a touchdown pass in either of his previous two games. He'd only thrown one in his last four contests.

Moore came on after Cassel was benched shortly after throwing this God-awful interception to Darrell Revis.

Things got off to a rocky start for Moore too.
He was intercepted on his second attempt of the game before going on to redeem himself.
It's been that kind of season for the 4-9 Cowboys.
