For 57 minutes, the Washington Commanders and Dallas Cowboys played a mundane game, with the Cowboys holding an 11-point lead and the teams combining for 29 points.
And then it got wild, leading to some of the wildest few minutes this season.
In the last 2 minutes, 49 seconds, there was a 99-yard kick return for a touchdown, an 86-yard touchdown pass, a missed extra-point attempt that would have tied the score, an onside kick returned for another score and a Hail Mary pass that was intercepted at the 5-yard line to clinch Dallas’ 34-26 victory — ending the Cowboys’ five-game losing streak and extending Washington’s to three.
