Dan Bailey's 54-yard field goal carries Dallas over Washington

Landover, Md.— Sure was ugly, devoid of any style points or many scoreboard points until the final 11/2 minutes. Perhaps fittingly, a fumbled punt return by Washington's DeSean Jackson deep in his own territory led to Dallas' only touchdown.

Dez Bryant's sideline pouting aside, the receiver and the Cowboys will gladly accept the victory, because it means they're somehow still in the thick of the playoff chase in the woeful NFC East.

With a wild finish capping an otherwise dull game filled with turnovers, punts and penalties, the Cowboys edged the Redskins, 19-16, on Dan Bailey's 54-yard field goal with 9 seconds left Monday night.
