Week 6 of the 2023 NFL season came to a close Monday with the Dallas Cowboys taking on the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium.

In a back-and-forth nail-biter, the Cowboys' secured a 20-17 road win with a last-minute interception of Chargers star Justin Herbert. 

Here were the top moments from the Monday night thriller!

Dallas Cowboys 20, Los Angeles Chargers 17

INTERCEPTION!

After a sack by Micah Parsons, teammate Stephon Gilmore was able to pick off Herbert with less than two minutes left to seal the game for Dallas.

Knotted up in the fourth

Los Angeles capitalized on its successful challenge, and ended the drive with a 1-yard TD from TE Gerald Everett, which tied the game at 17 apiece.

Muffed Punt!

The Chargers had a successful challenge which rewarded them with the ball in the red zone following what looked like an illegal touch by Dallas.

TOUCHDOWN!

A perfectly placed pass from Prescott found Brandin Cooks in the end zone to give the Cowboys a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter.

That was a close one

Prescott managed to spin his way out of trouble, and found RB Tony Pollard at the Dallas 24-yard line for a 60-yard gain on third-and-11 to set the Cowboys up in the red zone early in the fourth quarter. 

Huge Stop!

After it looked like the Chargers' offense was on a roll, the Dallas defense came up big getting a stop on fourth down inside the red zone.

That was pretty impressive

After the ball was deflected, Herbert managed to catch his own pass and get a first down for the Chargers early in the second quarter.

Right back at you!

The Cowboys went for it on fourth-and-1, and sent QB Dak Prescott right up the middle all the way to the end zone for an 18-yard TD. 

Dallas tied it up 7-7 with less than seven minutes left in the first quarter.

Charging into the end zone

Keenan Allen got his fourth TD of the season, and helped put the Chargers on the board first hauling in a pass from Justin Herbert for a 1-yard TD.

The extra point from Cameron Dicker was good to put the Chargers up by seven in the first quarter.

PREGAME

Tempers flare

The Chargers and Cowboys got into a scuffle before the match even started, and both squads were on high alert going into Monday Night Football.
