On the first series of the NFL’s Sunday nights matchup, Washington forced the Cowboys to punt, with the offense taking over at its own 28-yard line. From that point on, everything fell apart.
Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke threw an interception on the first play of the drive, setting the tone for what would become a 56–14 Cowboys romp.
Dallas reached the 56-point mark less than a minute into the fourth quarter, setting a new high water mark for points in a game by any team this season. Seven different players found the end zone, including touchdown passes from Dak Prescott to a wide receiver, running back, tight end and offensive lineman—the first time in NFL history that feat has ever been pulled off, per ESPN Stats & Info.
