The Dallas Cowboys outlasted the Washington Commanders during a chaotic second half on Sunday, winning 34-26 at Northwest Stadium after entering as double-digit underdogs.
What started as one of the season’s sloppiest games turned into a 41-point fourth-quarter sprint highlighted by a Madden-like 99-yard kickoff return touchdown by Dallas’ KaVontae Turpin and a stunning 86-yard touchdown by Washington’s Terry McLaurin with under 30 seconds to play.
However, the comeback effort was undone by Austin Seibert’s second missed extra point attempt. Plagued by special teams blunders all day, the Commanders (7-5) lost their third straight game after opening the season 7-2.
