FRISCO, Texas — If you didn’t hear from DeMarvion Overshown last week, the Dallas Cowboys linebacker apologizes. He simply couldn’t respond to everybody.
It seemed like every time the interception he returned for a touchdown on Thanksgiving Day against the New York Giants was replayed on television or social media, Overshown’s phone buzzed. Immediately after the game, he estimated he had more than 600 notifications.
“I’m pretty sure I didn’t text nobody back until the second day or night because there were so many messages,” he said. “I was trying to read them all. I’m pretty sure I got to the majority of them, but phone was going crazy.”
In a Cowboys season that has been filled with more disappointments than highlights going into Monday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals (8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC), Overshown’s play gives a glimpse into what could be a promising future for the 2023 third-round draft pick who missed his rookie season because of injury.
