Dallas Cowboys Win Over Washington Redskins
Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden (20) rolls backwards into the end zone to score a touchdown that gave the Cowboys… Matt Cassel’s passes often sailed nowhere near his receivers.
All in all, it was an ugly game, one devoid of any style points or many scoreboard points until the final 1:30.
The Cowboys beat the Washington Redskins 19-16 on a Bailey field goal with 9 seconds left in the game.
“I was frustrated”, Bryant said of his first-half tantrum. We’ve got guys that are going to keep battling.
Hard to believe, but it’s true.
“We focus on ourselves”, head coach Jason Garrett said Tuesday. After all, we like to rubberneck, and this is a glorious pileup, if you don’t spend too much time watching it.
QUITE A QUARTER: There were 18 points over the first 58 1/2 minutes, 17 the rest of the frenzied way.
“A roller coaster”, Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins called it.
The problem is that Washington has to recover on the road where it is 0-5 on the season and has played one competitive game – an overtime loss to Atlanta. “We just have to go out and play our kind of football”.
With the score knotted at 9-9, Jackson – who hadn’t been used as a punt returner this season until last week – caught the kick at his 16, began running up the field and got past the 20, before reversing course and heading backward to the 1. As he again tried to move forward, Jackson was surrounded and the ball popped out, recovered by punter Chris Jones at the 15 with 86 seconds remaining.
“Well, it didn’t end up the way we wanted it to”, Gruden said about the play.
Jackson did not deflect blame.
“That was one of crazier games I have ever been a part of”, Cassel said. I don’t know what to tell Pierre.
Dan Bailey kicked the winning field goal with nine seconds left to play and that gave the Cowboys a big win over the Redskins to improve to 4-8 on the season.
“It’s weird, but I’m thankful that that’s the case right now”, Cassel said.
Tony Romo is still scheduled to miss the remainder of the regular season because of a awful collarbone injury, but Jerry Jones has opted not to put him on injured reserve. The Eagles look like they’ve earned it the most by way of that Patriots win, but let’s not forget that humiliating loss to the Lions on Thanksgiving Day, when the Eagles played the single worst game of football I’ve seen from an NFL team this year.
“Unfortunately it’s not one thing that we can pinpoint”. He finished 16 of 29 for 222 yards with no TDs or interceptions.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) After the game’s 10th drive finally resulted in the evening’s first points, Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant stalked around the sideline, cursing and yelling and, oddly, even removing his shoes. By halftime, he had zero catches and had been targeted twice.
He finished with three receptions for 62 yards, including a diving 42-yard grab that led to – what else? – a field goal.
Well, I’ll tell you what, Sean Lee may never have been better.
With 14:15 left in the game, ‘Skins placekicker Dustin Hopkins came in and booted through the uprights a 46 yard field goal, which was his third successful field goal of the game. His fumble led to the only touchdown for Dallas’ 27th-ranked offense.
NO TABLETS: A power issue led to the teams not being able to use their sideline tablets during the game.
