What happened: Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown apologized to teammates after drawing a penalty for stepping onto the field during Sunday's game. Overshown stated he was caught up in the moment and did not realize entering the field was an infraction. The fourth-year linebacker drew scrutiny for the mental error under head coach Brian Schottenheimer.

Why it matters: Dallas held on to win 27-23 at Indianapolis to reach 4-5 and keep pace in the NFC playoff hunt. Unforced penalties remain a concern for Dallas following a trade deadline marked by defensive reshuffling. Maintaining discipline is critical for the Cowboys as they attempt to climb back to .500 in the second half of the season.

What to watch: Dallas prepares for its upcoming regular-season matchup with Overshown listed as questionable on the team's injury report.
