Arkansas fans that stayed in Dallas for the Cowboys game the day after the Razorbacks’ loss to Texas A&M got to see a familiar sight.

Midway through the second quarter, former Arkansas running back Darren McFadden found the end zone on a 2-yard run, giving him his first touchdown with the Cowboys. The run also extended Dallas’ lead to 21-7.

However, those fans also got a dose of déjà vu, as the Cowboys saw a fourth-quarter lead evaporate and end in a 39-28 loss.

McFadden finished with 35 yards on six carries, his best game since joining Dallas in the offseason.

In three games with the Cowboys, he has 22 carries for 82 yards and one touchdown, as well as three receptions for 40 yards.

He returns to action on the road against the New Orleans Saints for Sunday Night Football.
