Carr Pick Sends Cowboys Past Steelers in OT, 27-24 Brandon Carr figured Ben Roethlisberger was throwing his way. Thousands of Terrible Towel-waving Pittsburgh fans at Cowboys Stadium weren't happy with the Dallas cornerback's reaction. Carr intercepted a pass from Roethlisberger on the second play of overtime and returned it 36 yards to the 1, setting up Dan Bailey's 21-yard field goal that gave the Cowboys a 27-24 win over the Steelers on Sunday. The Cowboys (8-6) have won five of six and pulled even with the New York Giants and Washington atop the NFC East with two games remaining. Legions of black-and-gold clad fans on that side of the stadium watched in silence as Carr came within inches of ending the game himself. "That was like a buzzer-beater," Dallas defensive end Marcus Spears said. That guy studies the game and understands it. There is no doubt in my mind that he knew that was coming. Brown's death came a week after Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, Carr's former teammate, fatally shot his girlfriend before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and committing suicide in front of his coach and general manager. The Cowboys draped Brown's No. 53 jersey over the bench - just as they did in Cincinnati a week ago - and had a helmet decal with his number. Brent, accused of driving drunk in the fatal accident, watched from the sideline. "We have a lot of heavy hearts right now," Carr said. Fifty-three was on the sideline today, so after the interception, that's where the game ball went. Roethlisberger is 0-2 since returning from a three-game absence with shoulder and rib injuries, and he lost to the Cowboys for the first time in three starts. It was Pittsburgh's first trip to Cowboys Stadium since losing to Green Bay in the Super Bowl two years ago.
