Dez Bryant claims big payday off last-second Cowboys win
The Cowboys on the field weren’t the only ones to win big in Week 2, as former Dallas star Dez Bryant earned a big payday from the win. Bryant shared the big news after the win, claiming that he won $37,000 off a bet he placed on his former team. Dallas took down the Cincinnati Bengals 20-17 with a last-second field goal on Sunday, winning their first game of the season despite missing star quarterback Dak Prescott.
Bryant remains one of the best receivers in Dallas history, and his love for the team is still evident in his willingness to place a $10,000 bet down on a Dallas team without Dak Prescott and several key players missing on offense. Dallas hosted the former AFC champions and saw Cooper Rush lead them down the field for touchdowns on the first two drives of the game.
Although the Dallas offense stalled out afterwards, kicker Brett Maher came up clutch with two made field goals from over 50-yards — including the 50-yard game-winner.
Bryant made three Pro Bowl appearances in his time with the Cowboys and had a phenomenal season in 2014 that saw him win first-team All-Pro honors. In his eight-year career as a Cowboys receiver, Bryant pulled in 73 touchdowns and 7,459 yards.
