After an inconsistent start from the Dallas offense, quarterback Cooper Rush found his rhythm thanks to a physical run game and capped off a 15-play drive with a touchdown throw to wide receiver Michael Gallup in his return from a torn ACL.
After the long-winded drive, Carson Wentz and the Commanders had a minute to chop into the 12-7 Cowboys lead. With 17 seconds left in the half, Wentz got impatient and tested cornerback Trevon Diggs, who ran the route better than the receiver and made his second interception in as many games.
INTERCEPTED. Guess who. Trevon Diggs!

Diggs’ interception is his third against Wentz, who doesn’t have fond memories of the Dallas corner. Following the emphatic takeaway, the Cowboys head to halftime with a 12-7 lead and much more momentum.
