The Commanders won the toss and deferred which put the Cowboys on the field first.<\/p>\n
Early in the drive things looked sluggish for the Cowboys, but a penalty on the first third down they faced that was called against Washington seemed to wake them up. In fact, they were so alert that when they reached a fourth and short soon after while still on their side of the field they went for it and got it to keep things moving.<\/p>\n

It was a stellar drive when it was all said and done as Dak Prescott found Jake Ferguson for a fun touchdown to start the day off right.<\/p>\n
SCORE: COWBOYS 7, COMMANDERS 0 (Dak Prescott to Jake Ferguson touchdown)<\/p>\n
Getting off to a lead was certainly ideal, but it hardly guaranteed anything. Washington seemed pretty intent on having their own offensive success in quarterback Josh Johnson\u2019s first start since 2021.<\/p>\n
Deebo Samuel did his best to help out. He had a huge catch and run that saw him pop Donovan Wilson\u2019s helmet off at the end.<\/p>\n
Thankfully the Cowboys defense held right after this. In fact, Jadeveon Clowney got a sack on Johnson on third down to force a field goal that was good.<\/p>\n
