"Neither the Dallas Cowboys nor the Washington Commanders had anything to play for when they met on Christmas Day. Except for pride. The two NFC East rivals did not have had a playoff berth to play for but they still came to play. What looked like an early Cowboys' rout suddenly turned into a classic rivalry game. In the end, the Cowboys outlasted the Commanders, 30-23."
"Dak Prescott threw for two touchdowns on the Cowboys' first three drives as Dallas jumped out to a 21-3 lead, converting on all four fourth down attempts in the first half. Prescott and KaVontae Turpin connected just once in the game, but it was on an 86-yard touchdown pass. It was an NFL record for Christmas Day games, midway through the second quarter."
"Prescott finished 19-for-37 for 307 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Javonte Williams had 13 carries for 54 yards and a touchdown before leaving with a shoulder injury. Malik Davis had 20 carries for 103 yards. Hunter Luepke added seven carries for 30 yards and one catch for 14 yards. CeeDee Lamb had five catches for 46 yards while George Pickens finished with four catches for 78 yards."
