Washington takes over first place in NFC East with utter demolition of Dallas

Say this for the NFC East: They’re a generous bunch. Nobody wants anybody else to feel too bad about themselves. They’re happy to take on L after L to keep the rest of the league — or their visitors — happy.

The Dallas Cowboys were in a giving mood on Thanksgiving, offering up fumbles, pick sixes, dropped passes, crucial penalties and dubious play-calling that resulted in a resounding 41-16 victory for the Washington Football Team. Such polite hosts!

Washington’s Antonio Gibson came back for thirds, rushing for 115 yards and three touchdowns to clean out the Cowboys’ kitchen.
