The Cowboys were not able to get out of the Hall of Fame unscathed injury wise, losing tight end John Phillips with a likely torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
He will get an MRI on Monday.
"I'm going to stay positive and wait for [Monday] and see what the doctors get confirmed," Phillips said. "Regardless of what they say something's got to be confirmed on a screen so until they show it to me, I'm going to stay positive."
Phillips had four catches for 60 yards and two springing blocks in the first half before suffering the injury. Martellus Bennett did not play Sunday with an ankle injury and Kevin Brock sprained his left ankle, leaving Scott Sicko as the only healthy tight end Sunday.
Phillips' absence would be a blow because he is such a versatile player. He can play all three tight end spots and is a reliable pass catcher.
