"Early in the drive things looked sluggish for the Cowboys, but a penalty on the first third down they faced that was called against Washington seemed to wake them up. In fact, they were so alert that when they reached a fourth and short soon after while still on their side of the field they went for it and got it to keep things moving."
"It was a stellar drive when it was all said and done as Dak Prescott found Jake Ferguson for a fun touchdown to start the day off right. SCORE: COWBOYS 7, COMMANDERS 0 (Dak Prescott to Jake Ferguson touchdown) Getting off to a lead was certainly ideal, but it hardly guaranteed anything. Washington seemed pretty intent on having their own offensive success in quarterback Josh Johnson's first start since 2021."
The Commanders deferred the opening kickoff, giving the Cowboys the ball first. The Cowboys started sluggishly but energized after a penalty on Washington and a successful fourth-and-short conversion. Dak Prescott connected with Jake Ferguson for an early touchdown to put Dallas ahead 7-0. Washington countered in Josh Johnson's first start since 2021, with Deebo Samuel delivering a long catch-and-run. The Cowboys defense responded when Jadeveon Clowney sacked Johnson, forcing a Jake Moody field goal to cut the lead to 7-3. The first quarter ended with Dallas driving after another fourth-and-short conversion.
