The Dallas Cowboys secured a crucial victory against the Washington Commanders, ending a five-game losing streak and reviving their playoff hopes. With Cooper Rush stepping in for the injured Dak Prescott, the Cowboys (4-7) are looking to capitalize on upcoming matchups against struggling teams, starting with a Thanksgiving Day game against the New York Giants.

Despite a shaky finish, the Cowboys' defense showed improvement, and Rush delivered an impressive performance, achieving a 117.6 passer rating. However, special teams issues persist, and injuries to key players raise concerns for the team's future games.
