In one play, the Dallas Cowboys went from potentially trailing by two scores to the cusp of a one-point lead over the Washington Redskins on Sunday, and three former Boise State football players made the game-changing play possible.
Defensive lineman Tyrone Crawford blocked Washington kicker Nick Rose’s 36-yard field-goal attempt with 2:59 remaining in the second quarter, and the ball ended up in the hands of cornerback Orlando Scandrick.
Scandrick ran first to his right, then switched back to the left and returned the ball 86 yards down the sideline to the Redskins’ 5-yard line. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence made a key block to extend Scandrick’s return.
