The Cowboys won the coin toss and elected to receive. After KaVontae Turpin’s 30-yard kickoff return, the Cowboys needed only five plays to go 66 yards for a touchdown.
Dak Prescott threw incomplete on first down when the Commanders sniffed out the screen. He was 2-for-3 for 18 yards thereafter, including a 13-yard throw to CeeDee Lamb on third-and-1.
The big play was a 37-yard penalty on Marshon Lattimore for interfering with George Pickens in the end zone.
That spotted the ball at the Washington 1, and Javonte Williams ran it in on the next play.
Commanders defensive end Dorance Armstrong, who did not practice all week, re-injured his knee on the first drive and is questionable to return.
