For many Redskins’ fans, there is precious little more satisfying than a win over Dallas. But given the context, this one was even better than usual.
First place in the NFC East was on the line. Both teams had alternated wins and losses all season. Both teams were coming off impressive wins. The Eagles had lost earlier in the day. The Redskins hadn’t beaten the Cowboys since Dak Prescott and Zeke Elliott had arrived in Dallas. And while there are plenty of nits to pick with this win, all of that context makes it a win worth celebrating.
