As they deferred to start the game the Cowboys began the second half receiving the ball. They put together a lengthy drive that took up about half of the third quarter, but ultimately they had to settle for another field goal.
Washington took over for the first time in the second half and sent Marcus Mariota out at quarterback for Jayden Daniels. It was noted that this was a non-injury decisions which signaled that Washington was fine living for another day, one to come for them in the playoffs.
Mariota made some pretty quick work and some of it was thanks to a huge gain off of a free play that the Dallas defense gave up.
