WATCH: Cowboys’ Gregory crushes late comeback drive with strip sack

After a collapse from the offense, Randy Gregory took matters into his own hands with a strip-sack to silence Washington’s comeback effort.

Going into the fourth quarter, Dallas held a 27-8 lead and the defense had complete control of the Washington offense, even with quarterback Dak Prescott and the offense struggling outside of their lone touchdown drive.

With five minutes left, the Football Team scored a touchdown to make it a closer game at 27-14 but it still appeared to be a done deal and a Cowboys win. That was until Prescott missed tight end Dalton Schultz for an easy first down and instead threw straight to Cole Holcomb for a pick-six, making it a one-possession game.

On par with the rest of the day, the Dallas offense had another three-and-out, setting up Washington with a chance to tie or take the lead late. For what felt like the millionth time, Dan Quinn’s defense crushed the hopes of their opponent and defensive end Randy Gregory knocked the ball away from Kyle Allen. Safety Jayron Kearse recovered the fumble to give the Cowboys an exhale.

Following the big takeaway, Prescott converted a third down and sealed the deal for Dallas who moves to 9-4 on the season and takes a commanding 3-game lead in the NFC East.
