Washington rallied in the second half but fell short; rematch in two weeks
That’s not the game we were hoping for
It’s probably easy to feel as if Washington got blown out by the Cowboys on Sunday, but that’s not what happened. Washington got blown out in the first quarter, but following the sack-fumble-return for touchdown play that came with just seconds remaining in the first quarter, the football game was pretty even, and Washington’s defense played a very good game.
Washington’s defense
On the day, the Cowboys’ offense scored only one touchdown — that came in the first quarter. Look at the Dallas drives for the final 3 quarters of the game:
3 plays, -2 yards, punt
11 plays, 61 yards, field goal
12 plays, 58 yards, field goal
9 plays, 43 yards, punt
