This week the Redskins are preparing to extend a winning streak in the final regular season game against Dallas. Sound familiar?

Three years ago, Dec. 30, 2012, to be exact, the Redskins hosted the Cowboys at FedExField with everything on the line – continuing a six game win-streak, an NFC East division championship and a playoff opportunity, to be exact.

Following the lead of running back Alfred Morris, the Redskins did just that, defeating Dallas 28-18, sending the Cowboys home early and punching their ticket to host the Seahawks the following week.

Morris, then just a rookie from Florida Atlantic, made the biggest headlines that Sunday, rushing for 200 yards and three touchdowns that broke the franchise single-season rushing record.
