The Dallas Cowboys have not looked like a team with a chance at making the playoffs thus far on Sunday, but finally things may have turned.

Leading 6-3, Dallas got a free play when the Redskins jumped offside, but returned to their side of the line right after the snap, allowing the play to continue. Bum shoulder and all, QB Dak Prescott heaved a long pass down the left sideline into double coverage because of the obvious free play. Amari Cooper leaped between the defenders and hauled in the 46 yarder.

A few plays later, Prescott escaped some pressure to move left and find a toe-tapping Ezekiel Elliott for the game’s first touchdown and the club’s first end zone entrance since the win over the Los Angeles Rams.
