Morris’ TD after Cousins’ INT leads Cowboys past Skins 27-23

Maybe this time, the Dallas Cowboys really are ready to win without Tony Romo.

After the Week 1 jitters, it’s go time for Dak Prescott, 23. Dallas was a 1-point favorite in the game and they have now failed to cover in their last five regular season games.

Following their first win of the season, the Dallas Cowboys will now head back home to face the 0-1 Chicago Bears in a prime time matchup at AT&T Stadium next Sunday night.

Bryant would finish with seven catches for 102 yards on 12 targets in the 27-23 win over the Washington Redskins. His interception in the end zone was an ugly one. “He’s like a sponge”. Tyrone Crawford’s fourth quarter sack of Kirk Cousins kept Washington out of scoring range, but not before Matt Jones and Jamison Crowder combined for three plays that put the ball on the Cowboys side of the field in the final seconds. “It says a lot about him as a person”.

“We’ve got the New York Giants as soon as we leave here, so [Cousins] can watch the tape, find out what’s going on if he’s not sure what the indecision might be, why he’s missing some throws”, Gruden said.

The Redskins secondary may have had some difficulties against Pittsburgh but let’s be honest, the Cowboys don’t have Big Ben (yet) and they don’t have Antonio Brown. “I think it’s a combination of things”. We just have to get the defense fixed up. Among the problems: QB Kirk Cousins now has three interceptions and one TD this season. Washington upped the tempo on its first possession of the third quarter and Cousins completed 5 of 6 passes for 64 yards. Tight end Jordan Reed had five catches for 70 yards.

NO ADJUSTMENTS: Redskins DL Ricky Jean Francois wants to see his defensive coaches make more adjustments to counter what opposing offences do. The star quarterback suffered a devastating back injury during the preseason that has him sidelined until Week 9. “Every team that adjusts to us, we don’t adjust to them”, Jean Francois said.

“We’re not in a stance where we’re getting down on ourselves, saying, ‘We’re not good enough.’ That’s definitely not the case”, Redskins left tackle Trent Williams said. The drive included a fourth-and-one gamble by Jason Garrett, on which a play-action fake to Elliott led to a wide open connection to Geoff Swaim for a 28-yard pickup to get the ball inside the 10. “I didn’t like it one bit”, Morris said. “That’s just the way it goes”. Cousins was telegraphing his throw to Pierre Garcon so intently that he never saw Barry Church coming across from his right. “I felt like I ran OK with the carries I got”.
