LANDOVER, Md. — It was hideous, but the Cowboys — and the Giants — will definitely take it.

Big Blue has new life in the awful NFC East after the Cowboys outlasted the Redskins, 19-16, Monday night at FedEx Field in one of the ugliest games in the history of the rivalry.

With a chance to take sole possession of first place, the Redskins flopped in a frantic finish to fall into a three-way tie with the Giants and Eagles at 5-7 while the Cowboys moved just one game back at 4-8.
