Week 2 vs. WAS
Date published: Sept. 13, 2019
Entering this game, the Cowboys have won five of six vs. WAS
A look at three loses:
2010: That was the fateful pass to Tashard Choice before halftime which was run back for a Redskins defensive touchdown to put the Cowboys in a hole at halftime. It was also the time that the Cowboys thought they had stormed back to win the game with a touchdown on the final play of the game, only to be called for a holding penalty on right tackle Alex Barron and have their victory ripped away in defeat.
2012: This was possibly the worst Tony Romo performance of his career, in the worst possible situation, as this was a win-and-you’re-in game against a hobbled rookie QB in Robert Griffin. Romo threw three interceptions, including the back-breaker on a swing pass to DeMarco Murray which was picked off by some guy named Rob Jackson, and I seem to recall the Cowboys scoring just 18 points despite having seven drives inside the Washington 30. It was the low point of the Jason Garrett era, and I was ready to start coach shopping again after that.
2018: This was as frustrating a game as the Cowboys played last season, as Washington had almost no available skill position players yet Dallas could not pull away because their offense could not get anything going. Then, they handed Washington a free touchdown late when Prescott held the ball too long, was sacked at the goal line and coughed up the ball to Preston Smith with under five minutes to play. This was probably the game that inspired the Amari Cooper trade more than any other, and the trade puzzled so many because, at this point in time, the 2018 season already seemed lost.
The Washington defensive front line has had its way against the Cowboys offensive line recently.
