Redskins switch tactics late, use Josh Norman to cover Dez Bryant
Alfred Morris scores the go-ahead touchdown on a 4-yard run with under five minutes to play, leading the Cowboys to a 27-23 win over the Redskins. (0:58)LANDOVER, Md. -- The Washington Redskins preferred to keep their corners to a side, not wanting to confuse everyone else in coverage. That was the word late last week. But late in the Redskins’ 27-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, they made a switch they had been reluctant to make. They ordered corner Josh Norman to go wherever Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant went.
They made the move in the fourth quarter, after Bryant had caught six passes for 81 yards in the first three. He finished with seven catches for 102 yards.
