The frenzied finish and the need for Austin Seibert to miss an extra point to keep the game out of overtime might taint the victory if the Cowboys weren’t so starved for one. For the bulk of the game, they were the better, more prepared team while it was the once high-flying Commanders who looked disjointed on offense throughout the afternoon.

The Dallas Cowboys scored a 99-yard touchdown and the Washington Commanders scored an 86-yard touchdown in the final three minutes of what became an out-of-control fourth quarter. Ultimately, the Cowboys snapped a five-game losing streak with the 34-26 win, improving to 4-7 as the Commanders fell to 7-5 with their third consecutive loss.
