Watch: Cowboys S Malik Hooker recovers fumble for TD against former team

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Hooker recovered Damone Clark's forced fumble, rumbling for a 38-yard touchdown. It built the Cowboys a comfortable 40-19 lead. Earlier Hooker intercepted Matt Ryan, which set up a Micahel Gallup receiving touchdown. 

Hooker, a former All-American at Ohio State, played for the Colts for four seasons before signing with the Cowboys in 2021.
