At AT&T Stadium, the Dallas Cowboys demonstrated their dominance on both sides of the ball against the Washington Commanders. The Cowboys' defense was particularly impressive, recording two sacks and forcing two interceptions while holding their opponents to just ten points. The defensive unit also managed to apply consistent pressure with eleven quarterback hits and forced six missed tackles which contributed to limiting the Commanders' offensive production.


On offense, the passing game was efficient for Dallas as they accumulated 223 yards through air with an average of nearly eight yards per attempt. Quarterback play was sharp; evidenced by a passer rating over one hundred and two touchdown passes completed—one being an impressive thirty-yarder. The receiving corps handled twenty-six targets and turned them into fifteen receptions totaling over two hundred yards.


The ground game for Dallas struggled somewhat but still managed to contribute sixty-two rushing yards despite averaging just over two yards per carry. Rushing attempts were split among several players as they tried to find gaps in Washington's defense.


Special teams also played a role in this comprehensive performance by Dallas. Kicking was perfect on the day with four field goals made out of four attempts—the longest being from fifty-three yards out—contributing twelve crucial points to their total score.


While not everything went perfectly for Dallas—evidenced by four penalties costing them twenty yards—their overall discipline and execution were enough to secure a comfortable win before nearly ninety-three thousand fans who witnessed another successful outing at home.


Looking ahead, fans can catch the next game featuring the Dallas Cowboys as they travel to face off against Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on October 9th at 1:25 PM local time. This upcoming contest will be broadcasted live on FOX for those looking forward to watching another exciting round of football action.
