The Dallas Cowboys needed a strong offensive performance to see off the Washington Commanders on Christmas Day. Other factors were at play, but head coach Brian Schottenheimer was left thanking an unlikely hero who came through at the right time.
It seemed as if the Cowbopys could get whatever they wanted on the ground against Washington. They steamrolled their way to over 200 rushing yards on the day, seeing out the game comfortably despite a spirited effort from their hated NFC East rival. And thanks to an unfortunate Javonte Williams injury, almost half of these came courtesy of Malik Davis.
