After being forced to miss his rookie campaign due to a torn ACL, DeMarvion Overshown is making up for lost time. The Dallas Cowboys linebacker enters Week 14 with 84 tackles, five sacks, three pass defenses, and one interception.

That one pick resulted in a touchdown for Overshown, which happened in front of a massive audience. During their Thanksgiving Day game against the New York Giants, Overshown tipped a pass from Drew Lock into the air, chased it down for the interception, and then ran it back for a touchdown.

First, he gives praise to Mike Zimmer for switching up the play-calling and bringing the blitz. But instead of just going full-speed after the QB, Overshown took notice of the offensive alingment, which left him one-on-one with the running back.

He said that was "fishy" and then noticed Devin Singletary let him go past him. From there, he watched Drew Lock's eyes expecting a screen, which is exactly what Lock wanted to do.
