Cowboy redskin game

It was a game the Washington Redskins had to have, but the Dallas Cowboys simply wanted it more. The two teams were trending in different directions following Week 1, with the latter staring at an hole after coughing up a lead against the Philadelphia Eagles ; while the former made quick and bloody work of the New York Giants while barely breaking a sweat. Entering the Week 2 battle at FedEx Field as favorites, the Cowboys looked like anything but to start the game.

They'd eventually get things in gear , though, and the Redskins couldn't do much to stop them once they did. They looked a bit rusty at first, but once Dak Prescott began targeting Josh Norman successfully and stretching the field in the process, everything opened up underneath.

Prescott unleashed his true dual-threat nature, and the Redskins had no answer. Without starting defensive tackle Jonathan Allen and starting cornerback Quinton Dunbar , a pass rush that looked good early faded quickly and the Redskins secondary discovered they brought a knife to a gun fight against the Cowboys talented wide receiver and tight end corps. From there, it was simply Elliott making them pay for overcompensating to halt the pass.
