Heading into their final game before Thanksgiving, Dallas traveled to Washington with hopes of building momentum and ending their losing streak. The streak was finally broken—but in the most unexpected way. Here’s how social media reacted.
It all began with salt being poured into the wound.
Former Cowboys Dante Fowler Jr., Tyler Biadasz and Noah Igbinoghene serve as Commanders’ captains. Washington wins toss and defers.

The Cowboys’ opening drive made it inside the five-yard line, but they settled for a field goal attempt—only for it to be blocked.

Washington strikes first, putting points on the board with a field goal.
The Dallas defense does well with the short field and holds Washington to a field goal.
Commanders strike first off the big return on the blocked field goal.
Commanders 3, Cowboys 0

Both teams have had field goal opportunities on their first two possessions. Cowboys have missed both, Commanders have gone 1-for-2.
Austin Seibert knuckles a 51-yarder and the Washington lead remains 3-0.

Cooper Beebe with a poor snap. Have not seen that from the rookie this year. It’s all going bad.

A blocked punt. Special teams has been questionable all day.

The Cowboys respond quickly as Cooper Rush connects with Jalen Tolbert for a touchdown in the end zone.
Cooper Rush fires a strike into Jalen Tolbert’s hands and Dallas has taken its first lead after being aided by the Igbinoghene pass interference.
That is the first touchdown in the third quarter for the Cowboys all season.
Cowboys 10, Commanders 9

Look.
I get that scoring a touchdown is cool.
But Juanyeh Thomas has 100% got to go down in that situation. Pretty poor coaching to not have drilled that in right before the kick.
The probability is low here, but it exists because Thomas did not go down.
