FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys were in the locker room when word came back that the Washington Redskins lost to the Houston Texans on Sunday. Jason Garrett was in mid-ramble during his news conference when a potential game-winning field goal attempt fell short.
With the Cowboys’ victory against the Atlanta Falcons and the Redskins’ loss, Thursday’s game at AT&T Stadium is for first place in the NFC East.
