"Booker turned in another heavy-workload performance against Washington on Christmas Day, playing all 92 offensive snaps and earning a 74.6 overall grade, one of the better marks on the Cowboys' offense in the 30-23 win. Dallas leaned hard on the interior run game, piling up 211 rushing yards and repeatedly gashing the middle of the Commanders' front. Booker was a big part of those double teams and combo blocks with Cooper Beebe, helping Malik Davis and Javonte Williams stay on schedule"
"It wasn't a clean day in protection for the unit as a whole. Dak Prescott was sacked six times and hit repeatedly, with rookie phenom Jer'Zhan Newton racking up three sacks and five QB hits as Washington generated 19 total pressures. Interior pressure was prominent in postgame breakdowns, so Booker clearly had some rough snaps dealing with Newton's quickness and power on games and stunts, even if not every sack can be laid at his feet."
"One blemish on his night was an early bad penalty flagged on Booker on the opening drive, which, paired with a sack, put the offense behind the chains before they worked their way back into scoring range. To his credit, the moment didn't snowball. He settled in, and as the game wore on his physicality in the run game helped Dallas salt away clock on multiple long marches in the second half."
Booker played all 92 offensive snaps and earned a 74.6 overall grade while anchoring the interior run game as Dallas amassed 211 rushing yards. He executed frequent double teams and combo blocks with Cooper Beebe, helping Malik Davis and Javonte Williams maintain rushing tempo and enabling short-yardage play-calling. Protection struggled overall: Dak Prescott was sacked six times as Washington generated 19 pressures, with Jer'Zhan Newton posting three sacks and five QB hits. Booker had some rough snaps against Newton's quickness and drew an early penalty paired with a sack, but he settled in and used physicality to help close out the game. Ezeiruaku had a quieter outing, logging limited defensive snaps and modest stat production.
