The game began with Washington on offense, a matter that Micah Parsons seemed to take personally.
Parsons got after Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels early on and in the process reached double-digit sacks on the season. This marks the fourth straight season in which Micah has had double-digit sacks, making him the fifth player in NFL history to do it. All told the Cowboys stifled Washington and forced a punt.
This set Trey Lance and Co. up to work and they had a bit of success doing it. Trey hooked up with a handful of wideouts early on and the Cowboys were able to put a Brandon Aubrey field goal on the board to take the lead.
