Dak Prescott, Cowboys Beat NFC East Rival Redskins Behind 2 Amari Cooper TDs

The Dallas Cowboys have plenty to be thankful for on Thursday. Namely, that they put themselves in the driver's seat in the NFC East.

Led by a huge performance from Amari Cooper (eight catches for 180 receiving yards and two scores), the Cowboys defeated Washington on Thanksgiving, 31-23, moving to 6-5 on the season while securing their spot atop the division in the process.

Dak Prescott threw for 289 yards and two scores in the win, adding a rushing touchdown, while Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown. Colt McCoy had an up-and-down performance in his first start of the year in place of the injured Alex Smith, throwing for 268 yards, two scores and three interceptions.
