LANDOVER, Md. – How did Matt Cassel describe his first victory as the Cowboys’ starting quarterback?
"One of the crazier games I’ve ever been a part of,” said the 11-year veteran, who’s playing for his fifth career team with 77 career starts.
Much of Monday night resembled moments from Cassel’s previous starts for an injured Tony Romo, with the offense struggling to manufacture points. With 3:04 to play at FedExField, the Cowboys and Redskins were tied at nine – six field goals between them. No touchdowns.
In two of Cassel’s four starts (all losses) from late October to mid-November, the Cowboys did not score a touchdown.
