New Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York made headlines before his debut with the team on Monday, when he revealed that his girlfriend, Zoe Dale, was a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys.
York, who took the place of an injured Evan McPherson, told reporters Friday that despite her allegiance to the Cowboys, Dale would be cheering for him.

That is exactly what she did when he made his first extra point attempt at AT&T Stadium on Monday night.
Late in the first quarter, York lined up for his first extra point of the game that would tie the score at 7-7. With a successful kick, ESPN’s broadcast captured Dale’s heartwarming reaction.
“Praise God,” she said with a big smile.

York, 23, said last week that he got the call from the Bengals a day after his girlfriend was baptized.
“I was like ‘Well, Zoe, I will see you at home no matter what.’ So yeah, it’s pretty cool.”
York was 2-2 on field goals and 3-3 on extra kicks.
A botched blocked punt gave the ball back to the Bengals late in the fourth quarter, and Joe Burrow’s 40-yard touchdown pass to Ja’Marr Chase gave the Bengals a much-needed win over the Cowboys after losing three straight.
“We needed a break,” Burrow said after the game. “We haven’t got many this year, but it was nice to get that one and nice to come out of this with a win.”
