Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin reveals what he was thinking during epic kickoff return touchdown vs Commanders

Turpin revealed his thoughts about the play postgame as he revealed his running to the right was part of the plan from the start.

"I always do it when I've got nowhere to go and I'm in trouble, so I know I can just get them going one way then just spin back the other way," Turpin told reporters. 

Turpin's talent was in full display on the play, as it wasn't all speed nor elusiveness in play. Rather, he saw it all play out in slow motion before executing. 

"I would've thought about just going and getting down but when I (saw) all of them going to the left, I just knew I can just bring the spin move, that's something nobody had ever seen before and hopefully I can get them from the backside," Turpin said about what he was thinking during the play. "And I just slipped right through."

The craziness of the game didn't quite stop there, as the Commanders went on to score a touchdown and miss a PAT, a sequence followed by an onside kick return for a touchdown from Juanyeh Thomas to make it 34-26. 

But it'll be Turpin who goes home with the highlight of the day as the Cowboys get to take a deep breath after improving to 4-7.
