"The Dallas Cowboys week seven performance was one that would make Dan Quinn proud... if he wasn't on the opposing sideline as the head coach of the Washington Commanders. The Cowboys turned back the clock in a way and won in snowballing fashion, putting up points with big plays in the passing game, capitalizing off timely and needed plays from their defense, and making the winning plays on special teams to dominate 44-22."
"Dak Prescott remained undefeated in his career at home against Washington, moving the Cowboys to 2-0-1 at home this season. With an offense that continues to roll and CeeDee Lamb back in the lineup against the Commanders, first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer can begin to envision his team picking up where some of Mike McCarthy's best teams left by off steamrolling opponents at home to keep this 2025 season on track."
"Those McCarthy-led teams that put up points at will were mostly complemented by aggressive Dan Quinn defenses that created splash plays with tackles for loss and takeaways. The Cowboys defense coming into this matchup was not doing any of these things under Matt Eberflus, but a completely new approach saw the Cowboys defense do their best Quinn impersonation by playing man coverage, getting after Jayden Daniels and later backup QB Marcus Mariota, and taking the ball away twice."
Dallas delivered a 44-22 victory over Washington through big passing plays, defensive takeaways, and decisive special teams. Dak Prescott remained undefeated at home versus Washington, and CeeDee Lamb returned to bolster the offense. First-year offensive play-caller Brian Schottenheimer oversaw a high-scoring attack that produced at least 40 points in both AT&T Stadium home games this season. The Cowboys improved to 2-0-1 at home and recorded two fourth-down defensive stops. A defensive shift toward man coverage and increased pressure produced multiple turnovers and a pick-six, while upcoming schedule dates include a Christmas Day trip to Washington and a home game against Philadelphia in Week 12.
