Plays that shaped the season No. 8: Dan Bailey drills winner vs. Redskins

IRVING, Texas -- Here’s the next in our series on the plays that shaped the Cowboys' 2015 season:

Play No. 8 Dan Bailey field goal vs. Redskins

Situation: Fourth-and-2 from Washingtoon 36

Score: Tied, 16-16

Time: :02 left in the fourth quarter

Taylor's Take: The Cowboys still had faint playoff hopes, but seemed destined for another overtime loss after Morris Claiborne gave up a 28-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson with 49 seconds left. But Matt Cassel put Bailey in position to win the game after a 46-yard kicoff return by Lucky Whitehead.
