Back to EpisodesDak & CeeDee GO OFF as Dallas Beats Washington 37-20 | In the Shed
Description
The Cowboys needed this one. After spending the week calling Cowboys-Commanders about as close to a Week 2 must-win as you can get, Dallas responds with a 37-20 win at Jerry World. Mike and Rudy react to Dak Prescott's huge afternoon, CeeDee Lamb reminding everybody he's WR1, signs of improvement from Christian Parker's defense and Dallas getting back to 1-1 before heading to Brazil.
But this was a strange game to evaluate after Jayden Daniels suffered another serious-looking elbow injury before halftime. The guys debate how much his absence changed the game, question Washington's handling of its quarterback and discuss a controversial replay decision that went against the Commanders. Meanwhile, Dallas still has plenty to clean up, particularly a running game that produced only 66 total yards.
