There were only two surprises in the Dallas Cowboys’ season-ending loss to the Washington Commanders. One was that the game was even that competitive. The other was that Marcus Mariota, not Jayden Daniels, led Washington’s charge to victory. For Dallas, the key story in this one was finally ending this horrible season and moving on to new business.
There were no big revelations or takeaways as the Cowboys’ closed the book on 2024. A full game of Trey Lance showed us the same good and bad that he’s shown since entering the league. The athleticism was obvious and some of his throws were lasers, but at times had the accuracy of an Imperial Stormtrooper.
